Artikelkategorier: Museer och utställningar
Fringe Gallery presents Sofia Rombergs exhibition ´Wildflower Tales´, at the gallery from 6.9-5.10.
Wildflower Tales is shot with 16 mm film and processed by hand with flowers and plants from the filmed locations on the mountains. A document of short scenes with landscapes, flowers, family and friends in simple poses sweeps by, ending with what then became the end of further blunt transformations in Stockholm, the riot in Kungsträdgården 1971. A common quote from the urban planners in the 60s was the aim to create a new city for the new man. Decades later here we are, man and nature still caught in-between opposing forces in a milieu both created and suppressed. It’s a wildflower, is a flower, is a flower.
