An accomplished, internationally recognized visual artist, Mats has developed aesthetically and technically advanced video installations around the world, always with a subliminal political context. His work has been highly recognized and can be seen at www.matshjelm.info. Black Nation is his first feature documentary film, though by no means is he without great experience as a filmmaker. Since 1993 he has had film installation and shows in several European countries, the US, Russia, Canada and Japan.
He has a strong and personal attachment to Detroit. After having studied there at the prestigious Cranbrook Academy of Art, he has done several video installations with themes from Detroit (see White Flight 1997 on his website).
