Shadowplay, 1996

Shadowplay, 1996

Ricardo López, who was originally from Uruguay, is an infamous figure among morbid enthusiasts. López is known as the Björk stalker, after his obsessive behaviours and thoughts about the Icelandic singer Björk, caught international headlines in 1996.

López is said to have had a good childhood and early life. He dropped out of school to pursue an art career but failed to stay motivated. He then became an exterminator. By the age of 17, he began to exhibit low self-esteem and became more reclusive and isolated and stayed in his apartment more and more by himself, in Florida, USA.

López became obsessed with the Icelandic singer and performer Björk. His friends and family acknowledged his intense admiration of Björk but never imagined what would happen on September 12 1996, a few weeks after López became enraged when he discovered that Björk was dating Goldie, a rapper and DJ from the UK.

On that date, López, who was suffering from grand delusions, made a mail b*mb and sent it to Björk. López had grand ideas of k*lling Björk so that they could reunite in the afterlife. López then ended himself by gunshot. These delusions and obsessive ideas were documented in videos and diaries. Little to his knowledge, Björk and Goldie ended their relationship just days before his death.

Due to the smell of his decomposing body, López's apartment was investigated by police, who found his body and the tapes. The police learned of the dangerous package being sent to Björk, and it was intercepted before it arrived at her address, which at the time, was in London, UK.

Above are stills from the last tape Löpez filmed. He had shaved his hair and painted his face red and green, which could be explained as a psychological coping mechanism, as he could be separating what he is about to do with his actual self. The video also contains Löpez ending himself. It is widely available online and has gathered a cult-like following of those interested in morbid culture.
