Welcome to Ganzanderes/Malin Erixon. I work with illustration and animated film, contracted as well as independent productions. My films have been screened at film festivals all over the world – for example at the Sundance Film Festival, Ottawa International Animation Festival, Nordisk Panorama and Stockholm International Film Festival, as well as places like Studion at the Modern Museum of Art in Stockholm and Liljevalchs Art Gallery. I'm honoured to have received several nominations and awards for my work. For instance, in 2015 I was nominated for a Swedish Film Academy Award, a Guldbagge and in 2022 I received the Liljevalchs and San Michele Foundation scholarship ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
ETT RESANDEFÖLJE / A TRAVELING PARTY (projection for live concert, 2024)
(Clip from) a video projected behind a live performance/concert at Ornungastämman 2024. Over the course of an hour, the photo comes to life as it is colorized. At the same time, patterns from the family’s (in the photo) original knife sheaths are animated on top of the photo. Duration: 1 h 15 min.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The concert is based on a photo from 1910. The photo depicts a Norwegian traveling party with three fiddlers and a drummer, taken on Tånga heath not far from Ornunga. With the travelers, songs and chants spread as well as news, trade goods and craftsmanship. In areas with rich fiddling traditions, musical exchanges were a given.
During the concert, which is surrounded by rich stories, the old photo is brought to life on a cinema screen.
