1. What do you understand by the word 'claymation'?
An animation process using clay or Plasticine figures that are moved and filmed using stop-motion photography to create a lifelike look.
2. What is meant by the term 'surrealistic Garden of Eden'? and 'all that is natural goes awry'?’
My interpretation to the term surrealistic Garden of Eden is a reverse description of the Garden of Eden. It’s made to look disoriented, hallucinatory and has a quality of a dream and all that is natural and normal goes wrong.
3. What are the 'complexity of emotions' that Djurberg confronts us with?
Djurberg was trying confront us with is the feeling of fear of the unknown and the not understood.
4. How does Djurberg play with the ideas of children's stories, and innocence in some of her work
Djurberg plays with the idea of children stories and creates such composite emotions using the characters of stories. She makes the innocent not so innocent.
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 media has a lot to do with the corruption of innocents. They twist awful thing and make them look good, they attack us with so much crap, that people tend to think that unpleasant thing are regular and gain dirty habitats at a very young age, innocents could become a thing of the past.
In your opinion, why do you think Djurberg's work is so interesting that it was chosen for the Venice Biennale?
I think this must take a lot of time and a lot of hours and a lot of patience’s to make such a complicated film and get everything perfect. Overall love the creativity that went into making it, it all looks very extraordinary.
