Raphaelite Toolbox
External homepage: http://www.performingpictures.se
"Raphaelite Toolbox" is a silent instructive piece, depicting a woman who
is relating to a set of different tools. Her strange companionship to
these objects – that may well have been collected from the confiscated
items at the airport’s security control – is filtered through movement
and time.
The film is made by two artists and one choreographer
each of whom exploits the artistic scope offered by new dance cinema in
a unique way. They blend the transience of dance with the intimacy of
film, experimenting with movement and montage, exploring both rhythm
and visuality. Here, aesthetic expression rooted in the modern era
takes the form of realism, absurdism and avant-gardism. Everything is
possible!
The videopainting features wellknown Swedish choreographer and dancer Anna Koch, director of Weld.
