'Hatching' - Social Media as the Modern Cardboard World
Hanna Bergholm's 'Hatching' shows us that the modern version of the cardboard world trope is social media.
The Wooden Man
Gestated in the fibers of environmental exploitation and the gears of capitalist machinery, the wooden man emerges as a personification of the fears and complexities of our era. We witness fragments of his existence in a film disguised as a defective and forgotten VHS tape, documenting a solitary struggle for survival in a world that both creates and rejects its own monsters. A recording of a performative intervention in public space, where the artist himself embodies a contemporary monster. Cloaked in a minimalist disguise, his presence disrupts the city's rhythm, creating small circuit breaks in the perception of passersby.
