Filming dad’s ass while he’s chopping logs with his chainsaw

In “Filming dad’s ass while he’s chopping logs with his chainsaw” Max Göran visits his father in a rural Swedish region where he works as a lumberjack.With the use of a camcorder he approaches their relationship marked by political disagreement and different life circumstances. Under his son’s camera gaze the father performs himself and plays with prefabricated images, which at present often revolve around the political sentiments of the working class.

Max Göran is an artist and filmmaker who lives and works between Berlin and Sweden. He holds an MFA from Goldsmiths and has studied with Josephine Pryde at the Berlin University of the Arts. He’s had solo exhibitions at Cell Project Space in London, and at Ceradon and Jenny’s Gallery in Los Angeles. His work has also been shown at festivals and in group exhibitions at galleries and institutions such as Galerie Neu, CPH:DOX, Kasseler Dokfest, The 7th Edition of the Athens Biennale, New Contemporaries, Kunstverein München, European Media Art Festival.
