Välkommen till ISLAND OF LIGHT - Smögen 5-8 september 2024 20:00 - 24:00

Summer City of Love!

I en orolig tid av omänskligt lidande, krig och våld vill vi kanske se en strimma ljus i mörkret? Lena Mattssons nya verk är filmade och klippta för att projiceras på en sjöbod på Smögens brygga där de med skarp precision samverkar med den unika miljön och dess historiska kontext. Vi får träda in som besökare i en magisk värld, en realisering av platsens egen poesi. Där vävs dåtid, nutid, dröm och verklighet samman. I krig och kärlek lär allt vara tillåtet, så kanske också dessa uppenbarelser av gränslöshet i tid och rum? Musiken är specialkomponerad av den mångfasetterade Conny C-A Malmqvist, som vid sidan av att vara skribent och filosof också återkommande skapar de ljudvisioner som ackompanjerar Lena Mattsons bildvärld.

Verket är tillägnat alla bofasta och besökare på denna magiska ö. Lena Mattsson är själv uppväxt i området och inspirerad av platsen och dess omgivningar som har präglat hennes konstnärskap på djupet. Det senaste året har Mattsson vunnit ett flertal internationella priser på filmfestivaler runtomkring i världen med verk som Not without gloves, filmade på Smögen, Tången, Hovenäset och i Kungshamn. De bohuslänska klippornas granit har förts ut i världen, omvandlade till drömlika filmsekvenser. Nuets tyngd balanseras av dessa filmers lätthet; det är kanske Lena Mattssons viktigaste bidrag till oss, ett hopp trots allt.

Text: Lars Gustaf Andersson (f. 1960) är sedan 2012 professor i litteraturvetenskap med inriktning mot film och medier vid Språk-och litteraturcentrum i Lund (LUNDS UNIVERSITET). Han är poet, kritiker och översättare.

Speciellt tack till ISLAND OF LIGHT, Ebba Melber,
Conny C-A Malmqvist,
Lars Gustaf Andersson.
