Art of the Moving Image: Polish Animation and Film Avant-Garde
Because the art of moving images is integrally linked with the 20th century, telling its story also requires conveying the historical, political, and ideological turmoil inherent to that period. Experimental, avant-garde art is usually positioned on the line of intense turmoil, and its authors position their ideas in opposition to practices of oppression, violence, and exclusion, simultaneously evoking the aspirations, ideals, and values of the communities they represent.
Sometimes artist do it directly through valiant, activist, or political actions and practices; other times they rely on the use of symbols, allusions, and understatement. This review, then, tells the story of Poland: a country seemingly worlds apart from Korea, but perhaps similarly impacted by 20th-century turmoil; a country that wound up a victim of the power struggles of greater powers; a country that bravely fought for independence and self-determination, seeking to find its place in the current world order.
