John Blund

Book Title: John Blund

Author: Rebecca Stenfors

Page Count: 52

Trim: 120mm x 120mm

Format: Paperback book with accompanying postcard from inside the dream.

ISBN  978-1-7391634-2-6  Price: £10.00

Publish Date: 21st April 2024

In John Blund, Rebecca Stenfors revisits the story from an earlier video work called John Blund, or The Sandman (2022). The film came about when the artist asked her father to tell her a bedtime story, which he dictates as the pair sit at the kitchen table, the daughter, transcribing the text in broken mother-tongue. The book contains a fragment from this film: the English translation of the script, which the artist worked on together with her father. Unfolding with the staggered pace of lullaby, the text, interrupted by conventions of dictation and oral storytelling, comes to an end before the actual tale has even begun. The story that we are left with is an attempt to cling onto a memory that has long since passed.

An attempt to administrate a memory of a childhood story, with a full stop.

Endorsement of John Blund by Annika Ström

‘Everybody I know can be found here’ ‘Transparent Radiation’ ‘Just to See You Smile’

Sensual Pleasure:

Depending on the design of the luxury wallpaper, it appeals to most or all senses: the visual and haptic sense, as well as the sense of taste and touch. It can have an effect on the sensation of warmth and cold. The imagination is also stimulated by particular designs.

Elegance:

The human brain associates luxury with a sense of elegance which represents the difference to the ordinary. Due to the special features, this elegance is also inherent within the luxurious wallpaper after a short period of time. Generally speaking, it is often the interaction of several components that provides the luxury aspect.
