(Library of Ingram Bergman) (Living Room of Ingram Bergman)
The year 2018 marks 100 years since the birth of Ingmar Bergman.
The consortium of Swedish Film Commissioners and the Swedish Institute, along with the Norwegian Film Commissioners, celebrates this esteemed anniversary by turning their Pavilion in Cannes into a copy of Bergman’s Home at Fårö.
Walk into the Pavilion, and enter Bergman’s sun-drenched library; turn another way and you are in his living room. Relax on furniture inspired by the home and Bergman’s life.
Designer Marie Strömberg, along with Photographer Brian Predstrup, and Students from "Product Development with Furniture Design” at Jönköping University and “Capellagården” in Sweden have turned the plain white walls and space into an homage to the iconic filmmaker.
The students have interpreted Bergman’s life-work in a collection of seven unique pieces of furniture, all with a strong story connected to Bergman’s creation and person. There is also an interactive film installation and timeline of Bergman’s life and work.
You can see the Bergman exhibition “Smultronstället” (Wild Strawberries) at the Village International Pantiero #217 at the Cannes Film Festival 2018.
The exhibition is a part of #bergman100. A big thank you to "Stiftelsen Ingmar Bergman” and "Stiftelsen Bergmangårdarna på Fårö” who made this possible.
