Carl Johan De Geer

Born 1938-07-13 · Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Carl Johan De Geer is a Swedish artist, designer, writer, actor and filmmaker. He is unique. Art, film, photography, textile printing, books. An multi-artist who never ceases to develop, renew, surprise and calm. A film about Carl Johan holds many stories, from the advent of the fabulous Meyer-ateljéerna and the creation of the movies and TV series, which we will never see again in childhood depictions with the grandmother a Nazi and the mentally ill mother.
