Born in Sweden, Gunvor Nelson (1931-) began her artistic career as a filmmaker in the mid-60s in San Francisco (USA). Major figure of the American West coast experimental film community, she has created an extraordinary filmic oeuvre, in which we can admire both the strangeness of her characters (Fog Pumas, 1967) and the poetic nature of her imaginary worlds (My Name is Oona, 1969) and the strength of her feminist commitments (Schmeerguntz, 1966). Since the 90s, Gunvor Nelson has lived and worked in Sweden where she continues through films, videos, paintings or installations, her exploration of the Swedish landscape and identity (Light Years, 1987).
