Sigur Rós Debuts Interactive Video for Tate Modern's New Wing

Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, formed in Reykjavík in 1994, has created an interactive video titled 'States of Matter' for the Tate Modern in London, celebrating the opening of the Tate 2 extension. The work is divided into four visual experiences—plasma, air, solid, and liquid—each linked to the past, present, and future of the building. Original music was composed by Orri Páll Dýrason and Georg Hólm, structured in four parts with distinct identities within a cohesive whole. The project marks the band's first solo venture into a format prioritizing visual evocations over sound, leveraging a prestigious platform. Sigur Rós has a history of cross-disciplinary collaborations in experimental visual arts, including work with Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson and with Wolfgang Buttress on the UK Pavilion at Expo 2015 in Milan.
