Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, 'Puppets from The Parade of Rituals and Stereotypes 3'
The duo's work contains a lot of black humor and references to popular culture and art history. Hans Berg's hypnotic music suggestively amplifies emotional states and drives the story forward. The characters' alienation is palpable - they often radiate loneliness, low self-confidence or a distorted self-image, with appearances or behaviors that are not usually socially accepted.
The work 'Puppets from the Parade of Rituals and Stereotypes 3' is made up of handmade puppets that have all appeared in the 2012 video work 'Parade of Rituals and Stereotypes'.
The artist couple is represented at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Prada Foundation in Milan and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as in many important international private collections.
'Puppets from The Parade of Rituals and Stereotypes 3' will be sold at Contemporary Art & Design.
