The music video for Pagan Poetry, directed by Nick Knight, was also perhaps Björk's most controversial. It featured Björk in a dress designed by Alexander McQueen, covering only the lower portion of her body. The video also included distorted images of sexual intercourse, fellatio and a graphic display of body piercing. The video was banned by MTV in the United States, but was eventually shown in unedited form on MTV2 in a presentation of the "20 Most Controversial Music Videos".
