Bilde: What I Miss About People, and What I Don’t Miss About People av Marte Aas

Film programme for AMIFF 2021

Curated by Ida Lykken Ghosh / Atelier Nord

Artists in conversation with curator after screening: Birgitte Sigmundstad og Maren Dagny Juell

The programme takes its title from a film by Marte Aas. A future version of a world where humans are gone and where a lone dog describes what she misses and what she does not miss about humans. The film is from 2017, but could just as easily have been made during the pandemic. What have we missed and what can we do without? And what does is it actually mean to return to normal? What have we learned, if anything? I have chosen to show five works by four artists that in different ways can relate to this years theme and these questions. The program is based on works by artists who have exhibited or who will be exhibiting at Atelier Nord. The event will be conducted in English.
