Sweden for Beginners – live sample

Short sample from the live set “Sweden for Beginners by me on video and Robert Willim on sound. Performed May 20 at the re-new digital arts festival in Copenhagen, Denmark.

SfB will only be performed live.
The set is around 40 minutes.
Questions/bookings: please contact info@willim-weberg.com

SfB is an imaginative journey through the spaces, the life and everyday world of this Scandinavian country, a way to experience beyond the power of words.
Artists Anders Weberg and Robert Willim have used fieldrecordings and material from various Swedish settings to form an audiovisual live performance.
The artwork will be surrealized as an affective exposé through live improvisation. Stereotypes of Sweden, like the Bergmanesque gloom, erotica and nature romanticism will be invoked in this imaginary journey through Sweden of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Anders Weberg & Robert Willim have an extensive experience in producing artworks. Their common works have been exhibited and screened worldwide in a large number of contexts. More about earlier works: willim-weberg.com
