"Not without gloves" by Lena Mattsson
Lena Mattsson's film "Not without gloves" reveal the common identity that we share in the experience and memory of the landscapes we come from, which in this particular case is also Mattson’s own origin.
The film problematize a romantic nature experience through various distortions, interpretations and questioning of the original place. Instead, we are allowed to enter as visitors into a magical world. Where Mattsson highlights in a poetic way the COVID-19 pandemic and global environmental change.

In The Spotlight – Not Without Gloves By Mouparna Dutta
Project overview
Lena Mattsson’s 2021 experimental film Not Without Gloves explores the shared identity we all possess through our experiences and memories of the landscapes that shape us, drawing from Mattsson’s own origins. Through a series of distortions and reinterpretations, the film challenges the traditional romanticized view of nature. Instead, viewers are invited into a mystical realm, where Mattsson poetically addresses the pressing issues of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing global environmental crises.
