Denna essä behandlar mitt masterprojekt "Oviss Väntan". Projektet resulterade i en videoinstallation bestående av animerade loopar som visades på två skärmar med hörlurar och en ljuddusch på Bildmuseet i Umeå, Sverige i maj 2021. Min uppsats börjar med en presentation av mig själv och min bakgrund som animatör. Jag beskriver min konstnärliga praktik, hur jag arbetar och vad jag har påverkats av. Detta följs av en presentation av själva projektet, där jag diskuterar viktiga delar av projektet, såsom teman och atmosfär, material, form och visualisering. Denna uppsats kommer att slutföras före utställningen på Bildmuseet. Därför kommer bilderna i uppsatsen att fokusera mer på processen och tillvägagångssättet än på det färdiga arbetet. Verket "Oviss väntan" bygger på en tanke om att alla fiktiva karaktärerfaktiskt existerar. Karaktärerna bor med varandra i ett hus där de väntar på att få användas. Filmen porträtterar detta hus, där karaktärerna är inhysta i de olika rummen. Genom animationens olika material och tekniker speglas deras väntan och önskan att göra sig redo för att komma ut i världen. Filmen förmedlar ett känsla av väntan men också av längtan. Jag tror att dessa teman har förstärkts av den rådande pandemin. En väntan som vi inte vet när den kommer att ta slut - om den ens slutar. Ett annat av mina teman är ensamhet. Denna ensamhet som kan finnas i en lägenhet även om endast väggar och golv skiljer oss från andra. Karaktärerna i filmen rör sig i loopar. Genom dessa loopar, tillsammans med musik, ljud och röster, rör sig filmen framåt. Rytmen och dess känsla skapar en form, och ett icke- narrativt berättande. En rörlig målning. / This thesis deals with my master’s degree project "Suspense" with the Swedish title “Oviss väntan". The project resulted in a video installation consisting of animated loops displayed on screens with headphones and a sound-shower at Bildmuseet in Umeå, Sweden in May 2021. My essay begins with a presentation of myself and my background as an animator. I describe my artistic practice, how I work and what I have been influenced by. This is followed by a presentation of the project itself, where I discuss important parts of the project, such as themes and atmosphere, materials, form and visualization. This essay will be completed before the exhibition at Bildmuseet. Therefore, the images in the essay will focus more on the process than on the finished work. "Suspense" is based on the idea that all fictional characters exist in real life. The characters live together in a fictional house where they are waiting to be used. The film portrays this house, where the characters are housed in the different rooms, with a variation in materials and animation techniques. The film conveys a mood of waiting but also of longing. I believe that these themes have been enhanced by the current pandemic. A suspense we do not know when it will end - if it even ends. Another of my themes is loneliness. This loneliness that can exist in an apartment even though only walls and floors separates us from others. The characters in the film will move in loops. Through these loops, along with music, sounds and voices, the film moves forward. The rhythm and its feeling will create a form, with a non-narrative structure. A moving painting.

To explore documenting practices in detail that use the time-based medium of film to engage with performance art’s negotiation of duration and disappearance, this article addresses Stuart Brisley’s and Ken McMullen’s 16 mm film “Being and Doing”. “Being and Doing” is an experimental, highly subjective documentation of live art practices of the late 1970s and early 1980s in Eastern and Western Europe. The film’s highly concentrated and rhythmically elaborate montage assembles photographs, sound recordings, footage of communal rituals, and artists’ performances with a voice-over narration by Brisley. Starting from a detailed analysis of particular montage sequences the article elaborates on the inventive aesthetics of “Being and Doing” as a conjunction of body art practices and a process-oriented mode of documentation, which is concerned with the frame as the essential constituent of film form.

Ode to Amiel is a feature-length experimental essay film by Phyllis Redman, made as part of the requirements for earning a Master of Fine Arts in Film in the Entrepreneurial Digital Cinema track from the University of Central Florida. The film explores one woman's reaction to trauma and depersonalization disorder through the journal entries of 19th Century Swiss philosopher, Henri Frederic Amiel. Passages from Amiel's Journal Intime provide the narrative and voice over for the lead character, a grieving mother who finds herself locked behind an inescapable, invisible and immaterial barrier that separates her from the outside world. Following the guidelines of the film program, the film was produced on a micro-budget (under $50,000) level. The goal was to create a film that was effectively a no-budget film, one similar in process to that of Tarnation, an award-winning experimental film created for $200. With an actual shooting cost of under $1,000, Ode to Amiel met this challenge. This is the record of the film's progression from development to picture lock, in preparation for distribution.

Film abstrait peint à la main sur de la pellicule recyclée, The Dante Quartet de Stan Brakhage est une adaptation personnelle de La divine comédie de Dante. Agissant comme un palimpseste où chaque couche révèle des éléments caractéristiques de l’oeuvre du cinéaste ainsi que l’influence de certains poètes et artistes, The Dante Quartet reprend certaines caractéristiques de l’ekphrasis. Dans ce mémoire, je travaille avec l’hypothèse heuristique que The Dante Quartet est une ekphrasis, et plus précisément une ekphrasis inversée. Ce mémoire s’intéresse à ce qui reste du pré-texte après son passage d’un média à un autre. Compte tenu du laps temporel qui sépare ces deux œuvres, il est aussi question d’influences contemporaines au travail de Brakhage. Le cinéaste basant son travail sur les phénomènes de vision (et plus particulièrement sur les visions hypnagogiques dans le cas qui m’occupe), le point sera fait sur la pensée de Brakhage à ce sujet, pensée qu’il expose dans son livre-manifeste Metaphors on Vision. / The Dante Quartet by Stan Brakhage is a personal adaptation of The Divine Comedy of Dante who took the form of an abstract movie made from hand painted images on recycled footage. Acting as a palimpsest in which each layer reveals characteristic features of Brakhage's work and the influence of different poets and artists on it, The Dante Quartet also includes some features of ekphrasis. In this thesis, I work with the heuristic assumption that The Dante Quartet is an ekphrasis, specifically a reverse ekphrasis. This thesis looks at what remains of the pre-text after the transfer from one medium to another. Given the temporal interval between these two works, I will also discuss of certain contemporary influences to Brakhage's work. As the filmmaker based his work on vision phenomena (especially on hypnagogic visions in that movie), the point will be made regarding Brakhage's thinking about this, thought that he describes in his manifesto Metaphors on Vision.

Ce travail a pour objet le found footage, analysé en tant que pratique de recyclage culturel et comme important mouvement cinématographique de notre époque. L’étude trace d’abord un parallèle entre la fabrication du film d’images trouvées et le processus de recyclage industriel. Ensuite, le travail aborde les influences artistiques de ce mouvement du cinéma expérimental initié dans les années 1960, qui s’intensifie de plus en plus depuis l’avènement des dernières technologies numériques. En dernier lieu, l’étude propose une mise au point sur le found footage à l’ère des technologies numériques, en analysant les causes et conséquences de la (re)montée du mouvement, et en tenant compte de sa présence qui se multiplie sur l’Internet, par le biais du mashup. / This research deals with the found footage, analyzed here as a practice of cultural recycling and as a major cinematographic movement of our time. The study first draws a parallel between the manufacturing of "found images" and the process of industrial recycling. The thesis then discusses the artistic influences of the experimental film movement initiated in the 1960s, which has been increasing its presence more and more since the introduction of the latest digital technologies. Finally, the study proposes an investigation of found footage in relation to the digital technology era, analyzing the causes and consequences of the [re]rise of the movement, and taking into account the multiplication of its format on the Internet through the practice of mashup.

O objetivo da tese é discutir e analisar filmes realizados entre 1967 e 1971 que, ainda no estrito campo do cinema, estabeleciam franco diálogo com as experiências mais recentes das vanguardas nas artes visuais. Os dois eixos da investigação se referem a produções de duas vertentes cinematográficas contemporâneas que se consolidaram em Nova York e no Rio de Janeiro sob os rótulos de \"Cinema estrutural\" e de \"Cinema marginal\", respectivamente. Ambas tendências, qualificadas como \"cinema experimental\", surgiam no rastro de vanguardas artísticas com fortes desdobramentos nas artes visuais, no que ficou conhecido como minimalismo nos Estados Unidos e o um \"pós-tropicalismo\" ou marginália no Brasil. Nos filmes que podem ser tomados como mais representativos desta relação - Wavelength (1967), de Michael Snow; Serene Velocity (1970), de Ernie Gehr; Mangue Bangue (1971), de Neville d\'Almeida e Lágrima-Pantera, a Míssil (1971), de Júlio Bressane - busca-se analisar as principais operações formais a partir de questões e posicionamentos provindos de tendências das artes visuais ao lado de discussões teóricas cinematográficas, principalmente aquelas relativas à vanguarda no cinema. No segundo eixo, aproxima-se as contemporâneas experiências de Hélio Oiticica no cinema e em demais meios audiovisuais. Acompanhada desta análise formal buscamos situar estas obras no percurso de seus autores e no contexto artístico e cultural no qual se inseriam. Propõe-se assim, ao final, observar os paralelos e contrastes entre essas experiências e as razões de suas descontinuidades. / The main purpose of the thesis is to discuss and analyse films from the late 60\'s and early 70\'s that, althought in the strict field of cinema, established a frank dialogue with the most recent experiences of the avant-garde. The two axes of the investigation refer to productions of two contemporary cinematographic strands that took place in New York and Rio de Janeiro known respectively as \"Structural film\" and \"Cinema marginal\". Both tendencies, usually considered in the same field of an \"experimental cinema\", emerged after and in direct association with the artistic avant-garde tendencies with strong ramifications in visual arts, like what became known as minimalism in the US and the \"post-tropicalism\" or marginália in Brazil. In the films that can be taken as the most representatives of this link - Wavelength (1967), by Michael Snow; Serene Velocity (1970), by Ernie Gehr; Mangue Bangue (1971), by Neville d\'Almeida and Lágrima-Pantera, a Míssil (1971), by Júlio Bressane - we seek to analyse its main formal operations based on questions and standings derived from contemporary visual arts tendencies next to theoretical discussions especifically cinematografic, especially those related to avant-garde cinema. On the second axis, the closeness with the contemporary experiences of Hélio Oiticica in film and in other audiovisual media is one of the focus. Accompanied by this formal analysis we also seek to situate these works in the path of their authors and in its artistic, cultural and political context in which they were placed. It is thus proposed, at the end, to observe the parallels e contrasts between these experiences and the reasons of their discontinuities.
