| Introduction | My art practice is based on a quite simple premise. It looks at one particular art-form: Animation, in the most traditional sense I have been making drawings that are then set into motion using a computer. The films are self-evidently concerned with movement, yet they are paradoxically made up of stills. My work is research-based, that examines drawing and animation process - "so what comes next?" Found footage of home movies - selecting - editing - re-working segments from these short films, which have been acquired from youtube and ebay - to study conventions and structures of narrative. I understand the value of these little films, made between the 1960s and 1970s, home movies are private documents from a generation - petit bourgeois portrayal of one's own living room, various birthday parties, eating, drinking and being together. Various films address the camera directly - who is this invisible audience they keep communicating with? Is it themselves as future viewers of their own films? Are they addressing friends and relatives? Or are they talking to history itself - to an unspecified "later on," as they keep reappearing after death. |
