Abstract(s)
O projeto desenvolvido é uma chamada de atenção para
certas discrepâncias sociais. A intenção foi questionar o
universalmente imposto, colocando em causa certos ideais
de beleza e ideias generalizadas sobre a sombra.
O projeto insere-se no domínio da cultura visual e partiu da
constatação dos aspetos imagéticos da camuflagem, a partir
da qual se tratou a questão da sombra - de onde resultaram
os significados diversos e a estética utilizada.
Através da estética da luz/sombra, procurou-se criar uma
analogia metafórica entre este mundo de luz e a vida em
sociedade, questionando o comportamento coletivo para
com as “sombras” reais da atualidade.
Nesse sentido, desenvolveu-se uma série de curtas
animações em stop-motion produzidas em espaços
abandonados, que exploram as dimensões metafóricas e
expressivas da sombra e às quais se deu o nome de
OUTCAST.
A produção destas animações usou métodos experimentais e
foi possível graças a um longo planeamento e análise de
registos visuais lumínicos nos vários espaços, assim como
de referências teóricas e visuais alusivas a contextos
similares, e que vão desde o cinema independente à arte
erudita, passando pelo grande cinema de animação e pelo
cinema de animação indie.
This project aims to raise awareness of certain social inequalities. It intends to question certain ideals of beauty as well as generalized ideas about shadows. The project is a part of visual culture and originated from the observation of the visual aspects of camouflage. From which the topic of the shadows was addressed. The different meanings and aesthetics used resulted from this investigation about shadows. Stemming from a discussion of the aesthetics of light and shadow, a metaphorical analogy was created between this world of light and life in society. More specifically, this thesis questions the collective behaviour towards the real “shadows” of today. In this sense, a series of short stop-motion animations produced in abandoned spaces were developed, which explore the metaphorical and expressive dimensions of shadows and to which the name OUTCAST was given. The production of these animations used experimental methods and was possible thanks to a detailed planning and analysis of light in the various spaces, as well as theoretical and visual references alluding to similar contexts, ranging from independent cinema to erudite art, not to mention great animation cinema and indie animation cinema.
