日本を代表するアニメーション作家黒坂圭太。「物語」を語る長編『緑子／MIDORI-KO』に続く、巨匠の新たなステージを一挙に。「不定形」シリーズにこめた思いについてのトークも。
「いま私が探求しているのは「不定形」。それは抽象でも具象でもなく、観客の心理的状況によって、どちらにも変容しうる「かたち」なのです。ある人の目には風景や人物に映るかもしれないし、またある人は何らかの物語を読み取るかもしれません。さらには変化する「かたちの動き」そのものを見ようとする人もいることでしょう。皆様ご自身の脳内散歩を楽しんでいただければ嬉しいです。」（黒坂圭太）
Keita Kurosaka is a representative figure in contemporary Japanese animation. After his first feature MIDORI-KO, he steps into the unknown realm. The screening of “Formless” series is accompanied with his talk.
“Currently, I have been exploring the operation of the “formless” (informe) through animation. It is neither abstract nor figurative, but it is the “form” that can change in either way, according to the viewer’s state of mind. Some may see figures and landscapes, or some may read some story, while others may feel only the continuous motion and transformation of forms and shapes. It is a promenade of the imagination and I hope you enjoy it as such.” (Keita Kurosaka)
