INFERNO KRABBA STRANDEN

A new narrative about the city of Stockholm, about the people and their identities, through a close reading of pizza menus, the names and the contents. One of the central pieces of the show is a large print called Pizza Moon, in which a grey moon with dark shadings is framed by a large black square. If you go close you will see that the moon is made up of names of pizzerias and pizzas: more than 300 000 characters and more than 500 pizza menus. The result is a kind of concrete poetry about longing but also the genius loci, the spirit of the place where the pizza is made and eaten, manifested in names like St Erik Eye Hospital or University College. Here you can also find madness and longing in names such as Inferno, Armagedon or The Beach.

A / B

Sjutton trappor uppför/nedför en brandtrappa. En skildring av kroppen i rummet, om kroppen och tyngdlagen. / 17 floors up/down a fire staircase. About life, about gravity and physicality.

"Dan Lageryd's video A / B shows a seventeen floors passage down a narrow staircase, followed by an ascent up a parallel staircase. The staircases depicted in A / B are isolated spaces, illuminated only by artificial light and with fireproof steel doors on every other landing. An emergency exit empty of personal belongings, the setting for the video does not so much indicate a place as it does a mere form. A form which, at the same time as providing the film's subject, outlines its choreography. On moving down the stairs, A / B displays the halting movement of two overlapping frames trying to meet each other, constantly reproducing the secluded space of the recording. While the incessant sound of footsteps on concrete keeps wiring back the viewer to the physical urban setting, one is tempted to wonder what kind of space it is that the video actually stages – rather than depicting any specific place, A / B seems to be offering its viewer a document over the ongoing process of producing and reproducing the very space of the recording."

EUGENIA

3 min, 51 sek. Video collage, 3537 x 1261. Loop.

A trip repeated ten times, each time with the camera pointed in a different direction. The panoramic reconstruction leaves the surroundings disjointed, both in time and space and the static nature of the architecture is no longer reliable. The noise of traffic and the engine multiplied by ten makes a roaring soundtrack.

Documenting the view from a hotelroom on the 13th floor overlooking Shanghai, the film concurrently presents six different views, filmed at six consecutive nights. The accompanying sound is a mix of racket from the street and noise from within the room, sirenes, car horns and fireworks mixed with television news on economy and a childrens choir singing ”This Land Is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie.

KULTURHUSET 20080115 13:00-17:30

5 min / 1 min. Video collage

Filmed from twenty-five different positions on different levels inside Kulturhusets wide glass facade, the movie reconstructs an afternoon on Sergels Torg - from daylight to dusk - in just a few minutes. Given the width of the image and the time it spans, this short film can be said to contract time and expand space... The soundtrack is comprised of the aggregated sound of the building and its visitors.
