Animation means evaluating the world, it is a philosophical viewpoint that contradicts all of reality with its own DNA while proving how diverse this reality can be.André Eckardt,Curator Mind the Gap! Animation Philosophy Each space can be filled with worlds of ideas – with theories or with real but invisible phenomena. From each gap between the images, new connections can be drawn and shocking twists can occur. The animation machine can stutter, glide, turn in a circle, or provoke quick associations. There is no law saying that image 1 leads to image 2. Animated reality is broken and refreshingly porous. This fantasy world gives us enticing chills and a desire to learn more as we look beyond death and our own reality. We are well aware that this represents a gap between two different realities, but still our perception and interpretation shifts back and forth between the two poles. Once they have been animated, screws have the potential to continually turn all on their own. The cartoon figure is flat after the steamroller is finished with him, but he shakes himself and is ready for the next gag. However objectively it is viewed, the fascination remains as animation holds up a mirror to our mortality. For some, inanimate objects are brought to life, for others animation is an artistic technique to manipulate moving pictures. In the projection’s stroboscopic synchronous shots, a fragile, fictitious reality is put together in which life is expressed through movement. Animation figures are unbelievably immortal and smile at our mortality.Lights! Action! Animation happens between shots. Disintegrated into ice cubes, exploded by dynamite – but life continues on as usual.
