Sandhedslege, Rollen og Forestillinger

2009

Sandhedslege, Rollen og Forestillinger (Truth Games, The Part and Fictions) is a two-channel video installation. The two projections are displayed opposite from each other, the viewer is placed between the two projections and must turn back and forth in order to engage with the two sequences.

On one projection one looks into a hall where an older man interacts with what makes out the other projection. On the other projection one looks at a stage with a screen whereon old recordings of the same man as young, acting in a cabaret show is shown. The old man approaches his young self and in the form of monologues, reflects on a life lived having a career as professional actor.

The title Sandhedslege, Rollen og Forestillinger is also the title of an autobiography by the Swedish actor and Ingmar Bergman favorite; Erland Josephson, which our character recites from. Thus undermining the narrative taking place between the two screens and reflecting upon the existential reflection made in retrospect about a life lived, of not pursuing ones dreams of creating a fictional course of life and blurring demarcations between imagination vs. reality.
