This Place is Every Place
By Ane Hjort Guttu
22.10 2014—11.1 2015
Ane Hjort Guttu’s new film This Place is Every Place is based on a dialogue between two women in the Stockholm suburb of Tensta. The Arab Spring serves as the backdrop for the conversation, and the film connects the global protest movements of the past three years with the protests in Husby, Tensta, and other parts of Sweden in May 2013. This Place is Every Place is also a seductively beautiful cinematic study of the relationship between political and personal crises. The Oslo-based artist Ane Hjort Guttu works poetically with fundamental existential and political themes, often in video and installation formats. The project is part of The New Model.
