telenarcism 2
video 1’35’’, 2008

The dialogue fragment with Liv Ullmann in Swedish is a simulation of a conversation between mother and son. It is a short drama in which I have played the role of a fictive Bergman character. The nordic melan-cholic martyr type, a role archetypically quite close to me. I conducted myself into this role almost as a narcistic wanting to appear as a film hero. At the same time the piece is also a drama of adolescence and separation. A shift in the relationship to another kind of friendship. And so long have I thought of my mother resembling Liv Ullmann, in a way it is also a tribute.
