The doll as an object, material and symbol in Tadeusz Kantor and Julia Bondesson’s art. In her lecture, titled Between closeness and distance, art historian Camilla Larsson gives perspective on these artistries.

The lecture focuses on how the two artists work with puppets. The doll, as an object, material and symbol, is analyzed on the basis of how it appears as a sculpture, in photography, in moving images and in theater and performance. Medium and materiality become crucial here for the meeting between works of art and viewers.
