Alla monster måste dö : gruppresa till Nordkorea : ett reportage
- 2011
-
Book (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Under brinnande kallt krig kidnappar den nordkoreanska regimen Sydkoreas mest kända filmstjärnepar, skådespelerskan Madame Choi och regissören Shin Sang-ok. De går till slut med på den filmgalne diktatorn Kim Jong Ils krav på att göra regimvänlig spelfilm för att indoktrinera massorna. Först 1986 lyckas de fly under spektakulära former.Efter att ha träffat Madame Choi i Seoul åker Magnus Bärtås och Fredrik Ekman hösten 2008 på en gruppresa till Nordkorea för att hitta spår efter filmparet. Tillsammans med interiörerna från resan, där en mycket märklig samling människor reser ihop under bitvis påfrestande omständigheter i ett land som trotsar all logik, blir berättelsen om filmparet till en smart, upprörande och idérik reportagebok som bit för bit suger in läsaren i sitt märkliga universum, in bakom kulisserna på ett av världens mest slutna och hårda länder.

On Hospitality : Layla Al-Attar and Hotel Al-Rasheed
- 2023
-
Artistic work (film/video) (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this work, an experiment is carried out that could be called necromancy: a dead person is made to speak to us alive about the past. Necromancy is always an integral part of historiography: using the imagination based on source studies, speculating about the context of history. We meet Layla Al-Attar, an Iraqi artist who talks about a special hotel in Baghdad and the concept of hospitality. Hotel Al-Rasheed was built by order of Saddam Hussein to house the meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in Baghdad in 1982. The construction of the hotel was a gigantic Swedish industrial project, today forgotten. It was led by SKANSKA company in Kalmar and more than 1000 companies contributed, many of them small businesses from the province of Småland. But the meeting in Bagdad never took place, the war with Iran broke out.During the Gulf War, Hotel Al-Rasheed became the scene of the world's first televised war. Layla Al-Attar provided the entrance with a mosaic image depicting George Bush's face, as well as the text "George Bush is a criminal". A US missile hit her home in 1993, killing her, along with her husband and housekeeper. The artist had received her invitation from the dictator, she saw the incredible hotel materialize and made her political comment. But she had to pay the price.The work is part of the group exhibition "Här omkring" ("Round here"), Designcentrum, Nybro, 13/05 - 27/08 2023.The exhibition has also been shown at Form/Design Center, Malmö, 22 November 2023 – 14 January 2024.

One Day
- 2022
-
Artistic work (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Tying wreaths is associated with life and fertility but also death. The material for my typeface consists of cut-out details from embroidery; tablecloths, tapestry and other images from a time period of approximately one hundred years. In this work forms and times co-exist – it is based on research around word images, visual poetry and folkloric tapestry with moralisms. Moralisms are based on fear (Nietzsche), and the work can be viewed as warning texts. Texts on the wall also have a different kind of reading manner than printed texts and are inscribed in a history of warnings, decrees, exhortations as well as invocations. The exhibition moves between the literal and the metaphorical, a chorus is formed by quotes from music, philosophy, anthropology and social psychology – they depict – and stage – time and the irrational elements of social communities.Kulturcentrum Ronneby Konsthall 22.1 – 13.3 2022

The Disappointed and the Offended
- 2002
-
In: Cabinet. - Brooklyn, N.Y. : Immaterial Inc.. - 1531-1430. ; 7:Failure, Summer
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- My ongoing work, The Disappointed and Offended, is based on reading Sweden’s evening newspapers on a daily basis and finding low-level stories of failure where someone has been offended, hurt, snubbed, disappointed, or otherwise given cause to complain. I reproduce the newspaper’s photograph of the person using the simple technique, often used by children, of dripping molten wax on the image. When dry, the wax is carefully removed with an imprint of the face on it. The wax medallions are hung on long walls from pieces of thread embedded in the wax. A list of printed one-sentence texts nearby tells the stories behind the disappointed and offended faces, thus making the work vascillate between empathy and malicious pleasure. Begun in 1994, the series now has more than 650 portraits.

The Great Memory
- 2023
-
Artistic workabstract
- The title of the exhibition is borrowed from W. B. Yeats idea of a reservoir of souls and images that functions meeting point between the living and the dead. Humans would have access to the great memory through dreamlife, either by dreaming or by inducing oneself into a hypnagogic state to listen to voices of the dead, who would share their wisdom, as well as giving advice about everyday life actions.The great memory could be viewed as a metaphor or symbol for our relation to history; a constructed “space” where temporality is collapsed, and the private merges with the collective.Exhibition, Flip projects, Naples, 4 November – 20 December 2023

The Strangest Stranger and Other Stories
- 2016
-
Artistic work (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Filmen The Strangest Stranger är en skildring av Johnnie Walkers (egentligen Joni Waka) liv – en judisk man i Tokyo och förebild för en karaktär i Haruki Murakamis roman Kafka på stranden. Johnnie Walker ser sig som den siste av ”de gamla judarna” i Japan då alla ur de generationer av judar som levt i Japan sedan början 1900-talet har lämnat landet. I sitt dagliga liv i Tokyo berättar han ideligen sin historia för vilt främmande människor som han möter på gatan och i olika sociala sammanhang.Den experimentella dokumentären The Strangest Stranger utgår från konstnärens möten med Johnnie Walker under närmare 20 års tid. Huvudpersonen absorberar fiktion i sitt liv och iscensätter sig själv. I en situation med socialt tryck verkar han ignorera den dominerande ordningen, samtidigt som han använder sin position av att var henna gaijin (”den konstigaste främlingen”) som en plats för frihet att skapa en vardagskomedi.
