Lagrat liv

Clip after clip, without interruption or a shared thread. They take us through apartments and gardens, out onto streets and across demolition sites, into nightclubs and out into landscapes. They take us underwater and out towards the horizon. Vanja Sandell Billström works with both documentary and staged formats. Her films are based on the interaction between people. What expectations does the presence of a camera provoke, and which moments are worth capturing on film? For Lagrat liv (Stored Life), the artist collected material from the public in the form of private, mobile phone films. These she edited into a mosaic of everyday yet carefully chosen moments. A fleeting archive, condensed into a dynamic monument to life itself.
