Johannes Nyholm | Las palmas
Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to present a solo presentation with Johannes Nyholm at The Art Fair Market at Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm.
The film Las Palmas attracted a great success at the Gothenburg International Film Festival where it won both the prestigious short film prize “Startsladden” and “The Public’s Vote”. “Startsladden 2011 goes to a tragicomic movie in a crazy world that feels horribly familiar. An ingenious hybrid of ‘Sällskapsresan’ and ‘Easy Rider’, which goes straight into our hearts “.
Las Palmas depicts a day in a lonely woman's life. It is a simple story about loneliness and alienation. The role of the middle-aged woman Marja is played by a one year old baby, the other characters of puppets. All environments are artificial, constructed of fabric set pieces.
