About
Ingmar Bergman: ' We make each other alive; it doesn’t make a difference if it hurts.
What more is there to say? This opus took three months to write, but rather a long part of my life to experience. I have felt a kind of affection for these people while I’ve been occupied with them. They have grown rather contradictory, sometimes anxiously childish, sometimes pretty grown-up. They talk quite a lot of rubbish, now and then saying something sensible. They are nervous, happy, selfish, stupid, kind, wise, self-sacrificing, affectionate, angry, gentle, sentimental, insufferable, and lovable. All jumbled up. Now let’s see what happens.
When I was young, I was extremely scared of dying. But now I think it a very, very wise arrangement. It’s like a light that is extinguished. Not very much to make a fuss about.'
The work is presented in association with Josef Weinberger Limited (London), acting on behalf of the Ingmar Bergman Foundation
