In July 1996, Björk published a poem titled "Techno Prayer" in "Details" magazine which would later be used as part of the lyrics of "All Neon Like". It featured thematic ideas such as cocooning and thread-weaving that she would later explore on "Vespertine". Björk had released her previous studio album, "Homogenic", in 1997. The album was highly acclaimed on its initial release and stylistically differed from her previous two releases, described by her as "very emotionally confrontational and [...] very dramatic". She also described "All Is Full of Love" — "Homogenic"s closing track – as the first song on "Vespertine", as it opposed the rest of the album's "aggressive, macho" aesthetic. In 2000, she starred in Lars von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark", and composed its soundtrack, "". The filming process was conflictive. Von Trier believes the problem was two-fold: they were both used to being the "dictator" over their products, and Björk was unable to separate herself from her character while acting. Björk wrote "he has to destroy female leads during the filming" and declared that she would never make another movie. Her performance was praised: the film was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and she received the Best Actress award. On 25 March 2001, Björk attended the 73rd Academy Awards — as "I've Seen It All" was nominated for Best Original Song — wearing a swan dress designed by Marjan Pejoski that caused a media frenzy and was widely criticized.
