Nathalie Djurberg's 'Claymations'.


1. What do you understand by the word 'claymation'?

Claymation is a combined word with Clay and animation. which is moving animation for giving a life to a lump of clay. This is a transformation of visual language from clay.

2. What is meant by the term 'surrealistic Garden of Eden'? and 'all that is natural goes awry'?

The term “surrealistic Garden of Eden’ seems to be against the backdrop of legendary Garden of Eden. I think the Garden of Eden is a symbol of good and evil. I have feel uncomfortable In the Diuberg’s work. She added some surreal sense to the image of Garden of Eden for twist. It is an impulse. The term ‘All that is natural goes awry’ is used to purposely impulse the fundamental anxiety about variety issues for absolving the issues.

3. What are the 'complexity of emotions' that Djurberg confronts us with?

According to chapter 1 of the complexity of emotions, it is further compounded when we consider that each separate emotion appears in a variety of forms with great differences between them. There are many types of love, sadness, fear, and other emotions; these types express the variety of emotional circumstances. Djurberg confronts us with sexual discomfort. Her work has a variety of forms with great differences levels between physiological, biological, psychological, sociological, and philosophical.

4. How does Djurberg play with the ideas of children's stories, and innocence in some of her work?

I think Nathalie Djurberg often used to trace human’s two face into children’s disconcerting perspective. However, Rachel Kushner says children in Djurberg’s films are not caught in some wondrous moment of "innocence." They are as monstrous and crudely complex as everyone else. Even her characters' capacity to cry copious, foamy blue tears doesn't make them seem tender. Often those who cry are not victims but aggressors whose tears only further indict them--not only are they sadists, they steal their victim's only recourse: the right to suffer(CPH:DOX, 2011).

5. There is a current fascination by some designers with turning the innocent and sweet into something disturbing. Why do you think this has come about?

I think her self-consciousness seems to dramatic and has keen sensitivity. Expression for her femininity is shocking through work, imprecisely claymation,

6. In your opinion, why do you think Djurberg's work is so interesting that it was chosen for the Venice Biennale?

Because they need to find the best interest with new contemporary artists. Her videos are obviously characterized, she extremely expressed cruel and ugly senses of human, and it may have been a limit that human can think about it.

7. Add some of your own personal comments on her work.

Even though I saw the same video work on ‘You tube’ a lot of times, to be honest, I do not understand her work. I want to avoid it as a viewer because all characters in her video are extremely shocking. However, I think there are personal and imaginative pleasures, I respect her natively, creative mind.
