Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg - The Advantage - 2021
Swedish duo Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg animate fantastical forays of shame and desire.
Avant Arte's debut collaboration with the artists is a series of 25 toned resin sculptures — each finished with a unique hairpiece handmade by the artists.
The Advantage touches on recurring themes from Djurberg and Berg’s practice: metamorphosis, guilt and deceit. Treacherous yet disarmingly hopeful, the crocodile pursues an upper hand, using a wig as its disguise. In the artists’ words, the series “takes something considered ugly and adds something more, which turns out not beautiful either, and then finds the beauty (and sweetness) in the innocence of that act.”
