"Bruce Benton's four‐minute “Sympathy for the Devil” uses the classic Rolling Stones recording to lend a sort of frayed irony to a collage of news reel shots of President Nixon, the Vietnam war, Gov. George C. Wallace, riots, Billy Graham and lots of other ducks that aren't sitting as much as they are lying down, exhausted." - Vincent Canby, New York Times, Nov. 19th, 1971
"People with an abiding interest in what young America is thinking today will be happy to learn that with perhaps one exception all the movies in the Whitney Museum's current Teen‐Age Filmmakers program are concerned with nightmare visions. The one exception is “Quiet Snow,” a nature study by Rob Hahn and Corey Kaup, which earns its “perhaps” because after several minutes of pastoral imagery it ends with about 30 seconds of mere blackness accompanied only by noise. For all I know, that may be a nightmare." - Roger Greenspun, New York Times, Oct. 19th, 1971

The great sick nowadays, the traffic, is always under observation. Methods and studies to attempt to decrease harmful discharges. But if planes and trains are constantly under control, the same goes for cars and pedestrians, where an infringement can often cause collateral damage to other drivers and / or pedestrians as well. Examples of how in some cases reckless driving can cause serious damage. Safer driving, on the other hand, can avoid further aggravating the problems of the very sick person.

Things (and their treatment) are shown repeatedly - a loaf of bread, a sausage, an egg cracked open on the rim of a cup: everyday actions with irreversible, one might say vitally destructive consequences. In the second part, the actions are directed at people, and the anxiety changes because the situations are created deliberately and uncritically. Part three, which could be read as a sober protocol of a relationship, loses the proximity to actionism and performance. Images of a man and a woman alternate with images of windows, mirrors, sofas, and the interior.
Sven Elfström (1927-2017) was a full-time manual labourer who started off as a welder at the shipyards in Uddevalla. Eventually he moved to the industrial city of Nynäshamn, south of Stockholm, to work at the manufacturing workshops of the state telecommunications company, Televerket. Elfström began shooting 8mm films at an amateur film club in Uddevalla. When moving to Nynäshamn he acquired a 16mm camera. Most of the eleven films that he made in this format are shot in Nynäshamn; the actors in these films were friends and family. The films were self-financed, shot and edited by himself, often on reversal film stock as this was the cheapest way to make a film. This means that usually neither negatives nor additional copies exist of these films, but merely one original print. UTVECKLING? starts with a fierce critique against capitalism, consumerism and man’s exploitation of the world.
