从早晨到夜晚 Från morgon till kväll

Från morgon till kväll [From Morning To Evening] depicts a day in the life of artist Kristina Abelli Elander.Based in Stockholm Abelli Elander has been working as an artist since the 1970＇s. Her early works focus on contemporary gender issues, through a surreal visual language inspired by comics and pop culture in general. Apart from this little offbeat gem (directed by the Charlie Nykvist, son of the famous cinematographer) she has also brought her style to several movies as a costume and set designer. Among these are several films directed by Marie-Louise Ekman (most notably Mamma, pappa, barn and Barnförbjudet) and Håkan Alexandersson and Carl-Johan de Geer (Tvätten, Res aldrig på enkel biljett, Resa till havet).In my early works I was interested in the monstrous and the morbid. Different alter egos like The Super Gal`, The Princess of Panic, The Kentucky Fried Chicken Heroine and The Comrade Alien and my latest project Alice & The Aliens, offers me the possibility to bring in the monstrous and the melancholic female on the scene in burlesque situations. In striking cartoonlike works I can criticize the ruling social order and gender perspectives.---Kristina Abelli Elander
