The cathartic animated films and sculptures of Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg (born in 1978, live and work in Berlin) make possible a play on fantasies, obsessions and fears. A gigantic sprouting potato (Potato, 2008) – somewhere between rot and regeneration – inside which three films are projected, forms the core of the installation. Other films, projected on the surrounding walls, show interwoven narratives, whose characters’ extreme appearances are like so many masks worn by the artists but also by the visitors. A primitive force is at work in Nathalie Djurberg’s animated films (with soundtracks courtesy of Hans Berg). The tortured human body – either struggling or in osmosis with the bodies of other creatures – is one of the main subjects of these works that are like an extension of the subconscious. Displaying a very dark sense of humor, the duo reach out to the dark side existing in every one of us through forgotten folklore, touches of animism and references to psychoanalysis.
