The history of visual communication.


A wonderful site to build on, lets make ourselves a new chapter and call it "motion design".

The mother project.

Celebrated photographer Tierney Gearon's work has been labeled manipulative, disturbing and even perverse. A former model and dancer, Gearon came to notorious fame in 2001 when photos of her own naked and masked children in the I Am a Camera show at London s Saatchi Gallery had authorities threatening child pornography charges.
Filmmakers Peter Sutherland and Jack Youngelson (Producer, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib) follow this exceptional artist over the course of two years as she assembles her most daring and emotionally complex body of work to date: a series on her manic-depressive schizophrenic mother, who resides in Grey Gardens squalor in the frozen suburbs of upstate New York. The mixture of art and family can almost be too close for comfort, but like much of Gearon s photographs there is a subversive beauty that emerges from the incongruity between ordinary moments and madness. Tierney Gearon: The Mother Project is a moving and intricate portrait of an artist, her inspirations and unconventional family relationships.

I am feeling like a zombie.

If it is not on camera it is like it never happened. So, be careful out there. And don't be scared of the glasses of Mr Romero.

poetry of suburbs

An original work (2004) of Mr. Juryoku.
A work capturing the vastness of nature and artificial materials in the outskirts of the Tohohu region. Or how experimental animation can become zen.

lykke-li

According to Walter Murch, when it comes to film editing, there are six main criteria for evaluating a cut or deciding where to cut. They are (in order of importance, most important first):
• emotion — Does the cut reflect what the editor believes the audience should be feeling at that moment?
• story — Does the cut advance the story?
• rhythm — Does the cut occur "at a moment that is rhythmically interesting and 'right'" (Murch, 18)?
• eye-trace — Does the cut pay respect to "the location and movement of the audience's focus of interest within the frame" (Murch, 18)?
• two-dimensional place of the screen — Does the cut respect the 180 degree rule?
• three-dimensional space of action — Is the cut true to the physical/spatial relationships within the diegesis?

Line of beauty and grace.

Maybe a bit out of focus for this blog, but, a bit of sexiness can't harm my visitors rate :-)

a documentary about Jock Sturges.

LINE OF BEAUTY AND GRACE is a tale about photography and art, family and life, dealing with the history of man and woman, life and art. Many art historians consider Jock Sturges, born in 1947, to be one of the most important fine art photographers of our times.
As a catholic and graduated in psychology and photography, he survived the attacks of conservatives in the United States. Sturges has created a series of intensely powerful and moving photographs with an outstanding sensitivity for composition and light. Sturges's artistic work is an uncompromising search for truth and clarity. His private life is marked by his open nature and inspired by the love he shares with his wife Maia.
In LINE OF BEAUTY AND GRACE, the filmmaker and photographer Christian E. Klinger journeys into the life and work of this extraordinary man.

Next To Heaven

Next To Heaven's Rob Parrish retires to his video laboratory and downloads public domain films from http://www.archive.org. He then writes and records short monologues based on the images from the films, and then re-edits the films to the newly recorded narrations. The result: Unique short videos (aka "video bonbons") that are full of flavor! Now mind you, some of the bonbons taste of garlic, hellish hot pepper, river mud, and flop sweat . . . but they are treats fro the discerning palate. Will you eat these bonbons, which even Mr. Parrish admits are "weird as hell" and will be an acquired taste for some? The choice is yours.

don't miss episode 41.
