Produced as part of an eponymous exhibition, Aliena Kadabra is made in a mixed technique of animation, paint, and found footage, typical for Åke Karlung’s way of working. In a dizzying montage of images and sound, Karlung aims his blows at Western civilization and welfare society. The 1983 Moderna Museet catalogue, Nordic Film, describes Aliena Kadabra in cryptic terms: “About unfree TechnoPornoSwine in their ancient opposite—the fluctuation between a Narcopathic Sensualism and frustrated Disciplinism.”
