'the experiment'
The animated films by Nathalie Djurberg at Kristianstads Konsthall take almost exactly one hour altogether to watch. But when you go around the carefully choreographed and built rooms you lose the sense of time. You watch one film from the middle and another from the beginning and you may see yourself starting all over again with the film you began seeing from the end. Some sounds slightly slip into one another and entices you to wander off. Then you want to go back...It is as if we enter a universe of baroque distortion, both absurd and real at the same time.
People and their bodies and minds seem to disagree in the films.
Anger, sorrow and joy overlap.
Anything can happen here as well as in our sometimes violent and cruel reality.
Her installation “The Experiment” at the Venice Biennale was overwhelming with films and large extraterrestrial swollen clay flowers in a dark jungle of anxiety. Twisted lust, power and frustration. Here in Kristianstads Konsthall you can see the films Greed, Forest and Cave (The Experiment) in the same installation as in Venice. It is condensed and minimalistic here. The difference from Venice is that there are no flowers or crowds of people. The audience who somewhat (strangely enough) enhanced the tense atmosphere but also made it difficult to experience. To suddenly meet a real person here in one of the rooms makes you take a small jump, and it’s great for the show.
After seeing the films, you can listen to Nathalie Djurberg and her companion Hans Berg who created the music to the films. There is a presentation in an Audio guide and you can hear what they thought about when realizing the films.
The number of staff at Kristianstads Konsthall is small and Claudia Schaper and Thomas Kjellgren at Kristianstads konsthall work hard to realize a qualitative program to be proud of.
