With the help of film and moving images the artist Conny Karlsson explores identity – it’s mechanisms and origin. He uses subjective storytelling and narrative experiments with a focus on how gender and roles are constructed, through a close visual study of the involuntary blurred boundary between social, political and intimate identity. In his work, Karlsson wants to initiate a discussion on norms and values, how these control our everyday life and interact within a social agreement and structure. His work blends documentary material with fictional storytelling, and by using fragments of film, text and image he creates new perspectives and new meaning.
