videoART: Stop and Motion

dokumentART 2013: 16.10.2013, Wednesday, 20:00
Loft Art, pl. Żołnierza Polskiego 5 (where is that?)
Blok tematyczny: videoART

curator: Gabriele Leidloff
 
Leidloff has chosen the emergence of mental images and their indirect representation in the media as the topic of her work. These find their equivalent in the abstract nature typical of all films and videos that remain under the umbrella of "Stop and Motion". This either due to the vague nature of what the images present, or through the editing that escapes conventional narrative. The selected fragments, different in terms of both style and theme, remain connected nonetheless by the abandoning of specific artistic elements, while retaining a level of interpretational complexity.
