Dansbaren#1: Artist Talk: Motion | Picture

Now that we’re all warmed up from the film festival here in Göteborg, it's time for Dance Bar #1 2012. The theme? Film of course! With guests Gunillla Heilborn and Mateusz Herczka, we take a look at the moving image as a medium for two different artistic approaches.

Gunilla Heilborn, one of Sweden's best known choreographers as well as award winning filmmaker, who in her work often reveals the space in-between people, between human desire and action. Heilborns’ unique way of combining text, motion, video and image, always spiced with warm humor and cool irony, positions her clearly as one of Sweden’s most interesting performance and film artists.

Mateusz Herczka’s work has been labeled BioArt, New Media Art, Video Art, Art & Science, Concept Art and more. In his work the camera becomes a measuring tool, a way of exploring alternative forms of perception in his investigation of technology, science and biology as art. He also works as dramaturge with some of Sweden’s main dance companies, designing and exploring new systems for generating movement.
