{2022} :: laser prints, paper collage animation :: @annaxmalina :: annamalina.com ------------------------ The “(Where) does it make you feel?” series is concerned with recurring topics in my art explorations related to the physical materials I use, how they translate into the digital, in what way they are transformed there and what I am able to express through them and their transformation. While making it, I was influenced by Laura U. Marks’ “Touch: Sensuous Theory and Multisensory Media” {2002} and especially her writing on haptic visuality and embodied spectatorship. “Merleau-Ponty used the word flesh to describe embodied consciousness. For him, consciousness does not arise in transcendence but through inherence of the body-subject to the world, to the material state of flesh. (...) In effect, for him, it is in the medium’s aptitude to show (rather than explain) the inherence (temporal and spatial) of the self to the world and to others that cinema and phenomenology find a common ground. Although his analysis of the cinematic techniques that can make this happen is limited, he senses that the cinema is, as you said, the medium to experiment with the notion of the human body and its limits, the permeability of outer and inner reality. Similarly, early film theorists as well as avant-garde filmmakers were interested in the productive confusion that emerges through the sense of continuity between the materiality of the human body and that of the medium.” » Martine Beugnet and Laura Mulvey: Film, Corporeality, Transgressive Cinema: A Feminist Perspective {2015} :: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/j.ctt16d6996.20.pdf
