Doa Barney, daughter of Björk and Matthew Barney, an ode to extravagance and creativity

• 'The Northman' Robert Eggers: "The appropriation of Viking culture by the extreme right generates curiosity about the Vikings"

• Cinema Quentin Tarantino: "Since I saw that film at the age of nine I have not been the same"

• Art Damien Hirst: "I have burned 4,851 works of art, I do not want my children to inherit my chaos"

In little less than a year, the young

What will spring bring?

The truth is that if he follows in the footsteps of his parents - his father is the

, the Icelandic music star - something will eventually surface, as he has always lived in a creative environment and, as the saying goes, from such sticks come such splinters.

It is common for the children of celebrities to start with an advantage in the competition to take a good position to develop a career, and Isadora is no exception.

What is different about her case is that, unlike the children of

or the

couple , little was known about her until she came of age.

Born in 2002 just after the romance between Björk and Barney became official - it happened when the Icelandic woman was preparing the album

and promoting her leading role in Dancing in the Dark, the

for legal custody, when the separation after more than a decade of living together had become a dog-fighting battle.

Björk charged Matthew Barney, in fact, in

, one of the songs on her album

(2015), after the author of the interdisciplinary artistic cycle

filed a lawsuit to

.

Barney accused Björk of trying to get him away from Doa - that's her family name, and the one she usually uses - in order to turn her against him despite their mutual desire to spend more time together in New York.

Björk, for her part, accused Barney of using Isadora as a throwing weapon and of trying to manipulate her feelings in a selfish way.

The truth, in any case, is that once she came of age, Isadora retains both surnames -first the one received from her mother, in the Icelandic manner-, uses the artistic name of Doa Barney, and projects features of a father and mother in her fledgling projects.

When Björk was a witch

First it was a campaign for the Italian firm

as a model, in July 2022: Doa appeared in dialogue with a new collection of jewelry, dressed in an elegant suit.

Later, it was the inclusion of her as an actress, with a secondary role, in the film

-Björk also had a role, but they did not coincide on screen;

the mother was an oracle, Doa a cook in the Viking village of the second part and shared plans with

-, and finally, in January of this year, her first song away from maternal protection,

, a melody of folk overtones written in collaboration with the Icelandic collective Post-dreifing, which

Before all that, she had also done background vocals for Björk -in

, one of the songs on the album

(2022)- and published her first job on YouTube as an audiovisual director in 2021, a short titled

in which, in the form of a surreal visual diary, he was shown crawling through a tunnel, talking on the phone or eating something earthy in the field.

Isadora has not yet reached the point of appearing on a red carpet dressed as a swan, as her mother did at the 2001 Oscars, shortly before becoming pregnant with her, but she is already taking her first steps as an extravagant celebrity and creator.

Faithful to the dispersed spirit of this time, he is snacking on all the dishes: a bit of video and photos here, a song there, while taking advantage of opportunities and the good inherited contacts to put himself in front of a camera and project an image between mysterious and icy, despite the fact that
