"Multi-trauma may be defined as physical injuries occurring simultaneously in several parts of the body. The multi-trauma patient has usually sustained multiple traumatic injuries to the body, affecting different organs and body systems. The multi-trauma patient may have a head injury, multiple fractures, and injury to the internal organs of the chest or abdomen. The more body systems involved usually indicates more serious illness."

Multi-trauma is a film and an exhibition consisting of an installation with video-films, pictures and smells that try to make concious a condition of unconciousness.

MalinMatilda Allberg has in her first film
and with her debut solo-exhibition on
Galleri 60, Umeå, with a camera and a micro-phone inquired what would have been registered during a state of uncociousness. In this manner she looks into a patient's "subjective" experience
of a condition that can not conciously be sub-jectively experienced.

The movie Multi-trauma was shown at Umeå international filmfestival 1999.
