Generalrepetition för självmord
BY
Åke Karlung

Dress Rehearsal for Suicide is an attack on the advancing pop culture and art spectacles. Musician K.E. Wohlin puts a saw to his leg at a Happening at the Museum of Modern Art and is likened to a victim of ‘the merry-go-round of Artformisms and Artformgasms’.

About the artist

Åke Karlung

1930-1990. Film-maker and artist. He studied oriental art and philosophy for many years. Karlung is a unique one-man, anti-movement phenomenon in Swedish film. He often avails himself of material generally regarded as the left-over scraps of modern society and manages to produce his films on an almost non-existing budget.
