Abstract

MOVEMENT AND TIME "Stasis was defined according to Schrader as the form that links the everyday in something unified and permanent".' Central to my research is the aim to create a still-life image from filmed scenes documenting the everyday actions in my living environment. In some cases however the scenes being staged function as allegories of the states and situations of daily life. I decided to mix staged and 'real' scenes because I did not want to create a documentary about the activities in my environment but to transform everydayness, as I perceive it, into the permanent and unified quality of the still-life genre. Since I work with video and the moving image it is important to examine structures of movement and time and see in which ways movement once disconnected from time may confront a stasis. Gilles Deleuze's ideas about the movement-image and the time-image will provide my theoretical framework with particular reference to the notions of movement and time in Cinema 1 and Cinema 2.
