NEW WORK:

Armie Hammers längtan efter jorden

[Armie Hammer’s Longing for Earth]

A tragicomic drama on the commodification of relationships.

A woman's worldview is shattered when actor Armie Hammer is outed as a cannibal. A personal trainer undergoes a virgin birth after becoming pregnant through IVF. A child wonders why his parents won’t visit him at the hospital. A magpie has flown into a lonely man's apartment.

Together they portray the contemporary man's inability to connect and resonate with each other and the world. It is uproarious, tragic and very human.

This play was performed at Stockholm University of the Arts, May 11-14 2024.

One of the characters in the play – Armie Hammer, portrayed by actor Filip Jönsson – only exists in the video projections on stage. He was created using facial capture technology – creating the most exquisite Uncanny Valley effect.

The poster for the play is another human in 3D — a face scan of actress Klara Hodell, shrinkwrapped in plastic. The plastic illustrates her distance to nature, passion and human relationships.

Elastic Love

An audiovisual story on love and identity.

Watch the short film:

Elastic Love is a video work on love and identity. Using elasticity as a guiding metaphor, the work explores queer identity and relationships. Love through elasticity. Elasticity is to adapt, to be moldable – as well as being hard to break. What is needed to break an elastic construction? Or: how does one get out of the state of jadedness?
