An imagined city

Edición de la obra An imagined city

When I think of a specific location or find myself in a certain place in a city, I often envision a scene from a movie. It could be anywhere: the lawns of a park, a gas station counter, a check-in desk of an airport or a hotel, the entrance stairs of a school or a city hall, the tombstones of a graveyard. Or, pushing a button in an elevator, ordering a drink in a bar, waiting in line at the supermarket." Acclaimed artist Jonas Dahlberg's 'An Imagined City' is an evocative collection of over 500 memories of rooms, spaces, and sites in films. Their architecture, furniture, objects, light, and sound. Their atmosphere. Images from films, memories, and the immediate surroundings coincide in layers. Distinct, yet blended. Emulsions of memory and space.
