jUAN CAMILO GONZÁLEZ (2013)
Juan Camilo, a beloved teacher and mentor, from 4 sets of 11 pieces of paper, builds an animated micro universe of gestures that are repeated endlessly.
The repetition of the animated gesture on paper is an effective way of describing the movement, in turn, in the montage, it finds a resource to lengthen the time and experiment with the camera as a device for capturing and purifying the visible, since to the extent that the animation advances the camera zooms out and allows you to see the entire frame of drawings in motion. The camera and its blurring become another body that runs through the drawing from the inside out.
Juan Camilo's animation helped me understand paper as a mutable matter capable of containing many universes.
Under the pillow
Isabel Herguera (2014)
The experience of dialogue from the socialization of memory and sharing is something that interests me from references such as Isabel Herguera in her work “Debajo de la pillow”, it is an animation made from the drawings of children admitted to a hospital In India, she uses all the imaginative resources in children's minds to create a universe of treasures and dreams that they keep 'under their pillows'.
It is essentially from the human encounter that Isabel carries out that project, here is a fragment of how her animation begins:
“In May I visited a group of children residing in a clinic in Tivim, Goa. We spent the afternoon playing games and decided to make a movie.
For several weeks a drawing grew, in it the landscape, the clinic, even the disease itself dissolved "
the boy and the world
Alê ABREU (2013)
I am interested in the approach of Alé Breu in his animated feature film "The boy and the world" as it explores the story of a boy who leaves his village and explores a world dominated by machines, animals and aliens.
Breu visually connects us with images of the city that dislodge us and make us leave our rigid mental schemes to see the world differently.
From his visual proposal he reconfigures the forms of the world, and without saying it verbally at any moment, he makes a critique of capitalism itself and the industrialization of labor.
From the child's eyes and from the play of the imagination, he inserts us into a story that is frank, fantastic, moving and very colorful. The child's encounter with the world is the starting point for telling the story.
homeless
vjsuave (2011)
From Brazil there is an artistic collective called VJSUAVE that has carried out explorations in the public space very similar to those that I consider from my project.
The use of the projection of live drawings on city spaces closely resembles my initial explorations with animation and 'projection-mapping'.
smooth cycle
vjsuave (2015)
In the same way, this group explores the interaction with the public in a fun and didactic way and, above all, reconfigures the space to the extent that it activates it from the projection, people see the space with a new perspective and therefore become at least by a few moments in a completely different place.
I think that it even borders on the performative since the fact that the 'suaveciclo' device is a reengineering of a traditional bicycle but made to be able to transport the projector, I find it fascinating.
