Together with Robert Willim I’ve been invited to perform Sweden for Beginners at Dokfest in Kassel November 11th.
The performance is part of the Dokfest Lounge program, which is described as: ”The specially arranged Festival Lounge, venue of the Audiovisual Performance Program, is decisively contributing to the atmosphere of the Kassel Dokfest and has established as the main meeting point for all guests during the festival. As an inherent part of the festival program since 2004, the Audiovisual Performance section includes experimental audiovisual and sound performances in digital and analogue media, Live Cinema concepts as well as club visuals and VJ-sets.”

Here is the program for the whole festival as PDF. (Read about our performance on page 112).

Sweden for Beginners

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.
