Djurberg intuitively handcrafts colorful clay figures and meticulously photographs each frame of the duo’s stop-motion films, dramatizing the perverse personalities of the cast of people, animals, and objects. With roots in electronic music, Berg scores the compositions and atmospheric sounds that bring the animations to life. Together, they build elaborate immersive environments that marry moving images with hypnotic musical scores. At times nightmarish and grotesque, their films are imbued with dark sense of humor and emotional depth.
