Joel Danielsson & Louise Öhman

They move through the past, with a certain emphasis on the peripheral stories of history. Through their reading of these stories between fact and fiction, they often return to the form of the montage, where collisions and connections appear in constellations of sound, images, and descriptions of events. Through this montage, they let speculative, haunting, and associative forms return as images. Transmission focuses on the monuments of archaic rituals and their connection to the spacecraft. Moving through three separate historical tales, what appears is the image of technology and its strive upwards, and that which continues to exist from afar, in what is close to us.
