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.

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.

The down-home candor of the exchanges presents a revolutionary alternative to the voice-over narration then common in commercial productions.
