The House
Carl Olsson / Estonia & Sweden / 2024 / 16 min
Hver lejlighed i en ni-etagers boligblok er sit eget menneskelige mikrokosmos i Carl Olssons korte, men episke stemningsrapport fra en myretue af cement.
Although the apartments are identical and the building itself could have been located anywhere in the world, the residents here have nonetheless created their own unique, individual homes. Every illuminated window in the nine-story building is a world unto itself. Everyone has constructed their own mini universe to reflect exactly who they are and what they dream of, but everyone still lives under the same roof. ‘The House’ is a warm observation of modern life, exploring the contrast between us as part of a society and as identity-seeking individuals. Olsson has developed his distinct, anthropological view of modern life. Here we get the Olsson method in its purest form.
