An experimental video in which earlier short films have been reworked and given new images and sounds. In a satirical-scientific way, well-known and obscure data are placed in a radically different context.

A mad doctor creates a gorilla that goes on a violent rampage across Blackpool. Meanwhile, a disfigured Gulf war veteran kidnaps his social worker. Also in the area are two escaped criminals who have travelled up north from London. They break into the house of an elderly woman, but little do they know, she's an electric-carving-knife-wielding maniac!

Dahlberg's sets are architectural models, built to a circular plan, and filmed with a centrally positioned rotating camera--hence the seamless continuity of the installation's footage. What seem to be tracking shots are really ten-minute, 360-degree pans, describing loci that inevitably read as nodes in a labyrinth--a subtly scary one, since its vertical and horizontal extension implies the impossibility of finding an external vantage point. Taking the panopticon as its starring point, Dahlberg's investigation suggests a psychoanalytic appropriation of the panoptic model, revealing the surveying self as itself both self-surveying and vulnerable to surveillance. Might there be hiders in the house, unseen presences behind those half-closed doors and darkened entrances? The camera's full-circle pan becomes readable as a paranoid attempt to watch one's own back.

The trilogy "Resonanz von Augenblicken II" (resonance of moments II) is a compilation of scenes shot on S-8 in several european and westafrican sites, complemented with few TV quotes. Playful situations are shown—as intimate moments, or staged as a show. Behind their superficial ease, profound existential realms can be sensed that otherwise seem to be suppressed in everyday life.
