"If the light takes us." The artists Monica Winther, Kjersti Vetter City, Petr Davydtchenko and Viktor Rosdahl shows works that in different ways relate to black metal and especially the second wave that occurred in Norway in the late 80s and early 90s with bands like Burzum, Darkthrone, Emperor, Immortal and Mayhem.

Petr Davydtchenko;;
MOVING BETWEEN STOCKHOLM AND LONDON, RUSSIAN-BORN ARTIST PETR DAVYDTCHENKO WORKS MOSTLY WITH STAGED INTERACTION AND SCULPTURE. DAVYDTCHENKO STUDIED FINE ART AT KONSTFACK, STOCKHOLM AND IS CURRENTLY STUDYING SCULPTURE AT THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART, LONDON. UTILIZING FORMS OF VIDEO, INSTALLATION AND PHOTOGRAPHY, HIS WORK SUGGESTS A RADIATION FROM SOMEWHERE INSIDE OF A NEW BORN FEELING. HE IS ROOTED IN THE FLUXUS MOVEMENT, THAT UNPACKS ART, MAKING IT HAPPEN RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, ALLOWING RAW MATERIALS TO STAND FOR THEMSELVES. DAVYDTCHENKO IS INTERESTED IN AN ART THAT CAN BE VIEWED AS AN ETHEREAL SUBSTANCE, USING OCCULT SYMBOLS THAT BRIDGE CULTURAL CODES. USING A MINIMALISTIC AESTHETIC AND SOMETIMES USING HIMSELF AS AN OBJECT OF FOCUS, CULTURAL MEANINGS ARE EXPLORED AND BLENDED TO RETHINK AND REINTERPRET SOCIAL CODES
" I mostly focus on the themes of violence, fear and collapse of structures. I am interested in how things die from inside, I guess it is a violent cycle of life that fascinates me. But from this violence and chaos there is the possibility of something being purified or reborn..."

music; Айл Вид - Моя вечерняя Русь
