Synopsis:

Following the preparation of 'Ledtrådar' ('Clues'), the first retrospective exhibition of Carl Johan De Geer, director Kersti Grunditz examines the life and work of the famous and controversial Swedish artist. De Geer, after a bourgeouis upbringing, abandoned his noble heritage for the bohemian circles of Stockholm, and in the spirit of the progressive sixties, began to form his trademark do-it-yourself aesthetics. Since then, he has alternately been a printmaker, painter, set designer, sculptor, writer and filmmaker. The choreographer Grunditz brings out, by focusing on the movements of the artist in work, an abstract sense of the 'clues' referenced by the title of the exhibition. The film adds alternative perspectives and contexts of the life and work of De Geer by way of interviews with friends, collegues and collaborators such as Marianne Lindberg De Geer and Eric Ericson. "CJDG" offers us an image of the seemingly chaotic universe of this artist who, according to his collegue Marie-Louise Ekman, 'has a very unique way of describing the world. Making it seem both very comical and very absurd. He puts things together like no one else.'
