From my point of view, claymation is a kind of cartoon that made of plasticine, both character and the background.People make characters and the background with clay and take a lot of pictures of them, after that, they put them together and then played back in rapid succession, then that’s a claymation.
What is meant by the term 'surrealistic Garden of Eden'? and 'all that is natural goes awry'?
In my opinion, ‘Surrealistic Garden of Eden’ and ‘all that is natural goes awry’ is mean that Nathalie Djurberg's intricately constructed claymation films are both terrifyingly disturbing and artlessly sweet. Her works always bring fresh air and make all exhibition full of natural. She creates universes which are dark and mysterious.
What are the 'complexity of emotions' that Djurberg confronts us with?
Djurberg’s works is full of creativity and exaggeration. Her animations show human beings at their most crass, psychopath, sadistic and often disarming behaviour. The macabre atmosphere of her animations almost never come with words, just a languid and fidgety music composed by Hans Berg.
How does Djurberg play with the ideas of children's stories, and innocence in some of her work?
Djurberg’s works show us graphically violent and erotic. If this reminds you of some cute TV programme you followed as a kid then let me crush any nostalgia you might have. Djurberg clearly didn't see the same children animations as you and i. She used claymations to tell stories which full of exaggerate violent and erotic.
In your opinion, why do you think Djurberg's work is so interesting that it was chosen for the Venice Biennale?
I’m interested in Djurberg since i saw her works. Her work takes me to a fantastic dreams, vivid characters and dramatic scene.
In addition to the film, the miniature tea set is on display at the gallery, as "an autonomous sculptural installation." Inspired by 18th century Neo-Baroque china, there are gold-gilded pieces, embellished with elaborate floral ornamentation, andan array of desserts including cakes, pastries, cookies and candies. 
i like how u brought us into the reality of which she looks at her own work different to every1 else.. although most will see kids stories and peaceful movies. others can still see these graphic issues in the backgrounds of erotic and violence. do u think if she displayed her work visually as a hard out violent and erotic, would as many people like it as they do now???
ReplyDeleteyou are right that Djurberg creates world which are dark and mysterious.Her stories deal with topics such as war, violence, sexuality, sadism and assault in an investigation of the darker side of the human soul.I think Nathalie Djurberg showed the garden of Eden in a surreal setting,but it is portrayed as a disturbing, twisted and violent place.I like her artworks.they always brought me spiritual enlightenment.Althoug Nathalie Djurberg makes our rules of morality upset,and never tells us where is right and wrong, We can feel the moral alarm and Boundary.I agree with you that Djurberg’s works show vivid characters and dramatic scene. I am really interested in her works.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you described Djurberg's surrealistic garden of eden as dark and mysterious. this brings me to the interest of her using multiple shots of vivid colour clay to create animations, even thou I am not a big fan of claymation, but this reminds me of the cartoon i use to watch when I was little; Pingu. a story fill with vivid colours and fantasy. But now this is how Djurbergs work comes in, her work are always fill with exaggerated violence and erotic, which brings the idea of complete opposite to the kids impressions of claymation.
