Filmform (est. 1950) is dedicated to preservation, promotion and worldwide distribution of experimental film and video art. Constantly expanding, the distribution catalogue spans from 1924 to the present, including works by Sweden’s most prominent artists and filmmakers, available to rent for public screenings and exhibitions as well as for educational purposes.
Interbeing is based on documentation of social structures and their different approaches to trust and fear. The material is presented through a thermal camera whose optics do not register what is visible to the eye but render shades of temperature, a perspective granting all living beings the same conditions of representation.
The camera also makes a heat shadow visible upon and after physical touch. The heat remains, like traces of utmost commonality in attempts at making direct contact, as well as in public, everyday chance encounters.
Martina Hoogland Ivanow is an artist working primarily in photography and film, with a practice centered on the interplay between filtered light, sound, and image. Through a process-based approach, her works often draw on the irrational undercurrents of the present—emotional responses to climate change, and the social and spatial effects of emerging technologies. The structure is non-linear and associative, unfolding through modes of documentation in which information is deliberately obscured, removed, or altered. These interventions are shaped by the constraints and intensities of specific techniques, positioning process as both method and a subject in itself.
