Jonas Dahlberg (b. 1970, Uddevalla, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm and Berlin. His video installations play with the notion of spaciality: how we perceive a space and how we inhabit it. Often filming architectural models, he creates complex interlinking of spaces connected by a unique perspective. This filmic gaze evokes contemporary panoptic systems: surveillance cameras and real-time imagery. Dahlberg’s works play on the poetic and the enigmatic: in ‘Interior Weightless Space’ (2004), a flower is seen floating in a dark room only lit by a dim glow filtered through a door left ajar. The title, borrowed from Italo Calvino’s book refers to his wish to build “a space which readers must enter, explore and maybe get lost in, but eventually find their way out of”.
