Jonas Dahlberg - Profile

Dahlberg has gained international attention for his video installations of illusory architectural spaces that are shot in highly complex large-scale architectural models. In these works the problematic of active and passive surveillance, the psychological disorientation caused by camera movements through large systems of artificial spatiality, and the ambiguous position of the self appear as basic questions. The main work is a yet untitled film of a conventional, unfurnished seventies room, with a door slightly opened to a brightly lit outside. The film is projected on one of the gallery walls, creating the illusion of a slightly displaced spatial extension of the gallery room. What we see is a pot with a green plant slowly floating around as if in zero gravity. Watching this endlessly enduring film of weightlessness the viewer who is bound to gravity may perceive his own body as unusually heavy. Like so often, Dahlberg evokes a moment of deep estrangement by challenging our everyday experiences of time and space, that we so often take for granted. The room is a miraculous little world in itself, just like the souvenir "snow dome" clutched by the dying millionaire, in Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, as he remembers his boyhood sledge "Rosebud."
