RESENÄREN
"...a tourist with a black eye admires himself on the metro..."
Animatronic sculpture running a looping sequence of about 1 minute and 40 seconds.
In order to make the presentation interesting for remote viewing (it's meant to be viewed live in person) the sequence has been filmed from different camera angles and edited together in a way that introduces a degree of drama without altering the actual sequence. Some sound has been added as well, the sculpture in itself has no speakers.
Work on the piece began in 2016 and took forever (mostly due to revisions in the puppet design). The total size of the enclosure is about 50x50x50cm. So far it has been exhibited only once, in 2021, at a now defunct art space on Norra Grängesbergsgatan in Malmö (where it ran for 8 consecutive hours without breaking!).
The above embedded video was screened at FILMBAR#28 on 2023-12-04.
