Made over (2010)
Over the weekend I was introduced as a “film maker” and artist for the first time. The first thing I was asked was “what kind of films do you make?” An awkward answer followed “FelliniMarkerPasoliniBurns”. So I spent some time this early morning trying to put words to an introduction about What I did during the war for the exhibition and I came across the following:
From The Personal Camera: Subjective Cinema and the Essay Film by Laura Rascoroli
Images are transformed into image-memories by means of the moving gaze of a film camera, music, sound effects, text, or a narrator who interprets what we see, or suggests what the images fail to show. In this context of creative deconstruction and re-framing, taken-for-granted notions of transparency, photographic realism, and narrative re-inventions of the past are being questioned.
That does it, I am an essayist!
