Berlin based Swedish artist
Nathalie Djurberg first worked with sculpture before concentrating on the cinematographic techniques of clay model animation. The artist uses playful subjects and imaginary people to confront heavy themes, such as violence, sexuality, sadism, whilst at the same time treating them with irony and dark humour. Appropriating the universal dimension of fairy tales, her narrations place the viewer in front of his or her taboos, impulses and anxieties. The bodies of the figures are deformed or are surprising hybrid forms, like the half-wolf half-child in We Are not Two. In Turn into Me, the progressive decomposition of the body of a woman is shown with surgical precision, right through to the skeleton, and animated in a final macabre dance by the inhabitants of the forest. The soundtrack created by Swedish musician
Hans Berg becomes an indispensable compliment to the narrative development of Nathalie Djuberg’s films.
