The Cinematic - Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art

by David Campany
The Cinematic - Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art
The Cinematic - Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art

Intersection of stillness and motion, artistic synergy.

If you're fascinated by the interplay between photography and film, "The Cinematic" could offer you an intriguing exploration of this dynamic relationship. It delves into how these two mediums have historically borrowed from and influenced each other, often enhancing their separate narratives through this creative exchange. Art enthusiasts and scholars alike could find rich insights in the dialogues and artworks featured, bridging the gap between still images and moving pictures.

Key writings by artists and theorists chart the shifting relationship between film and photography and how the rise of cinema forced photography to make a virtue of its stillness.

Film, on the other hand, envied the simplicity, the lightness, and the precision of photography. Russian Constructivist filmmakers considered avant-garde cinema as a sequence of graphic "shots"; their Bauhaus, Constructivist and Futurist photographer contemporaries assembled photographs into a form of cinema on the page.
