Though it is a vast departure from the source material, my short film "Art as Experiment: Film For Which You Choose Your Focus" can cite its origins back to the Marcel Duchamp painting "Nude Descending a Staircase, No.2." This painting combines elements of both Futurism and Cubism, showing a body in motion from various points of view. It is directly inspired by stroboscopic photography. Duchamp used color, shape, and pattern to create the illusion of movement through a static image.
Duchamp created work that stood in the face of "retinal" art and sought to engage the viewers mind. For that reason I began to analyze the goals of the painting and how it innovated the form. Thought after though, revelation after revelation led me to the film you watched at Mozawa's Y Portraits: ORIGINS. |
