Le Pas - Piotr Kamler (1975)

 

Sin Diálogos / No Dialogue

"Desnudo poético de una geometría variable. De nuevo más arte abstracto animado: una pila de papeles ordenados vuelan para formar una nueva pila de papeles. Dos hojas quedan suspendidas en otro lado para hacer el amor lenta y sensualmente antes de regresar a la nueva pila."

Sitúo a Kamler como uno de mis favoritos precisamente por ese gran manejo poético-visual, borgiano casi abstracto, acerca del eterno retorno. Noción figurada en la simple metáfora de un cubo en desfragmentación, cuyos fragmentos se elevan, danzan, se aman ante un caótico viento, para después retornar y articularse como otro cubo, uno diferente pero a la vez el mismo; creando irremediablemente, y en paradójica contraposición al objeto cúbico, una noción de tiempo circular, un ciclo que podría repetirse eternamente. Cortometraje ganador del Annecy Grand Prix del año 1975.

"Beginning in the 1960s, Polish-born animator Piotr Kamler created 10 films combining techniques of animation, stop-motion, and early CGI.  His work utilizes simplicity and repetition to explore process and abstraction.  His methods are akin to the combination of musique concrète and sound synthesis techniques employed by the acousmatic composers he collaborated with.

(...) A cube transforms, with some difficulty, into an identical cube in a slightly different location. Le Pas explores process and repetition through the movements of simple objects in an austere, infinite landscape reminiscent of many surrealist paintings. Kamler’s delicate animation of geometry anthopomorphizes the objects, implying meanings that apply to our human world. (I will never again doubt the erotic potential of 2 animated squares.) As with most of his films, he displays his impeccable taste by working with a master – this time, electronic composer Bernard Parmegiani."
