4.DOWN / 6.ACROSS
Blocks and squares, a fragmented view from the side into cosy lit up apartments in the big city. Sofas, staircases, lampposts, tables with flowers. Dreamy piano music underlines this literally puzzled view on contemporary living. Suddenly the music and mood switches: we are in a jazzy and dynamic dreamscape somewhat reminiscent of Mondriaan’s masterful ‘Victory Boogie-Woogie. “The crossword-puzzle addiction”.

Kobland’s work is a network of insights and associations, assembled in a flow of images and sounds. It explores a variety of socially and politically charged themes and issues. Kobland’s focus, however, is always on the individual.
