GUNVOR NELSON 1: COLLAGE FILMS
Wednesday 20 November 2002, at 6pm
Gateshead BALTIC Centre

Introduced by Gunvor Nelson.

Gunvor Nelson’s collage work extends the artistic possibilities of animation and layered imagery, combining disparate elements into a temporal, cinematic painting. In this sequence of films from the 1980s, journeys through the Swedish landscape are used to depict a sense of displacement from her native country. By showing animation as a process, Nelson creates a unique and freewheeling chain of evocative transformations.
