Handelshögskolan visar film av Hugo Karlsson och Marianne Schmidt
Body and Mind, längd: 2 minuter
Till rytmen av en centrifug uppstår en illusorisk gemenskap mellan normer och identitet. I dysfunktionell samverkan oscillerar kroppens fysiska föränderlighet och sinnets föränderliga konstant, någonstans i en deppig tvättstuga.

Handelshögskolan berättar om Hugo och Marianne och beskriver verket:
The film starts with the familiar sounds of a washing machine in spin cycle. In a gloomy laundry room, someone is waiting for the spin cycle to end.
The room is bare, the large sign on the wall looming its instructions:
PLEASE
1. No smoking
2. No pets
3. No body and mind separation
4. Don’t climb on the equipment
5. Don’t tumble-dry your body
6. Clean up after yourself
THANK YOU!
The film Body and Mind by Hugo Karlsson and Marianne Schmidt depicts a dysfunctional cooperation between a physical and ever-changing, body and a constantly malleable mind. ‘Do not tumble-dry your body’ – ‘No body and mind separation’.
Does the person – the body and mind – heed the instructions on the wall?
Body and Mind is a humorous and thought-provoking film that in an illustrative way recall norms and identity. It makes us reflect on what it means to have a body and a mind, and what it would mean to separate the two. Why would you tumble dry your body? Why would you separate the body from the mind? Do we always have a choice?
In the end of the film, the mind hangs the shrunken body on a rack – stretching it out to fit again.
