The Stain (Marjut Rimminen)

Interior Worlds

 

Gareth Evans (UK) with Marjut Rimminen (UK), Jim Trainor (US) and Naoyuki Tsuji (JP)

Animation can plumb the depths of the subconscious, recounting dreams and perceptual phenomena far beyond the reach of live-action film.  It can speak direct to us on a liminal, emotional, experiential level and convey the complexities of what it is to be human in a similar way to literature or painting.

How can the manipulated moving image tell us more about ourselves?  Can it reveal certain truths more readily than ‘straight’, live-action film?  Artists Marjut Rimminen, Jim Trainor and Naoyuki Tsuji join writer and programmer Gareth Evans in this informal discussion event to talk about the significance of emotion and the interior in their work, and the way in which animation can appeal to us on a perceptual level.
