Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg - Lena Essling Marie Darrieussecq Patricia MacCormack Kartoniert (TB)

Nathalie Djurberg (*1978) and Hans Berg (*1978) create animated worlds with objects music and moving images - dreamlike realms where we might lose ourselves. Their playfully told fables hold both humour and darkness putting any moral laws of gravity out of action. Djurberg's vibrant stop-motion animations and sculpture groups accompanied by Berg's electronic music form scenic installations in a surrealist vein. These intense chamber pieces enact fragments of memories repressed between innocence and shame or feverish daydreams of role play and desire. The shadowy landscapes sealed rooms and harshly-lit scenes of their films are inhabited by a group of possessed figures seemingly set on devouring one another. The exhibition and fully illustrated catalog describe an inner voyage an attempt to make existence more understandable in a flow of impulses and impressions.
