マチェーリカ／MATIERICA MATIERICA
SYNOPSIS
アニメーションの表現に於ける未踏の領域に挑んだ。美しい絵、魅力ある物語、華麗な動き、これらは優れたアニメーション映画に必要不可欠な“三要素”と思われがちである。しかしアニメーションの語源「アニマ」には周知のように「命を吹き込む」という意味がある。私は「命」とは「限りある時間」であり、前述の“三要素”を全く含まないアプローチもあり得ると考えた。数年間にわたる新しい手法の探求の結果、所謂「アニメーション的な」結構を排除した「微動アニメーション映画」が生まれた。本作では約５０００枚の鉛筆画をたえずオーバーラップさせる撮影方法により「移り行く意識」の視覚化を目指している。
I tried to step into an unexplored realm of artistic expression in animation. “Beautiful pictures,” “intriguing stories,” and “brilliant movements” are often considered as three major elements essential for good animation. As is well known, however, “animation” or rather “to animate” means, literally and etymologically, to “impart life (anima).” I think that “life” is “limited time” and that there are some other approaches that do not rely on the above-mentioned three elements. As a result of several years of searching and exploration for new methods and means, this “slow-motion” animated film was produced without any “animation-like” setup at all. Through the process of continuously overlapping about 5,000 pencil drawings, this work attempts to create through visualization a changing consciousness, more precisely an awareness of a consciousness that is changing with the passage of time.
