The Goodness Regime. 2013
Colour HD video projection with sound (30 min)
The Goodness Regime is a creative documentary exploring the image of Norway as a country of peace and benevolence. Archival footage of political speeches and clips from Hollywood films are woven together with a series of reenactments by children, in which they recount the myths, historical events and cultural personae that have propelled this understanding of the Scandinavian nation. In a satirical deconstruction of the "goodness regime", the artists explore the past moral dilemmas of one of the wealthiest countries on earth.
