Artist duo Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg create psychologically charged scenarios dealing with human and animalistic desires through a mix of animation, sculpture, and sound. Djurberg?s film-making uses clay animation to dramatize the basest of human instincts, from jealousy, revenge and greed, to submission and lust. Taking cues from allegorical myths, narratives emerge that are rich in symbolic meaning and nightmarish visions. Berg, an electronic musician and composer, provides the atmospheric and evocative music for the immersive films and installations.
