Cartografia do Found Footage

Na história da arte, o reemprego constitui provavelmente a prática mais constante e diversificada de fabricação de imagens. O cinema não cessa de intensificar duas de suas formas: o reemprego intertextual e a reciclagem. Quais são os principais usos do found footage? Propomos cinco usos, que são aprofundados e associados a obras singulares: elegíaco, crítico, estrutural, materiológico e analíticoIn art history, re-use is probably the most constant and diverse practice for creating images.

Unveiling and Revealing the Mirror: Mobile Reverberations in Patrick Bokanowski's Animated Films

[EN] Abstract The principal focus of this article is to provide an analysis of some of the most significant works by the independent filmmaker Patrick Bokanowski and the methodology he uses to create those animated films. It addresses Bokanowski¿s technique of filming on various kinds of reflective surfaces as a strategy for transforming the image through optical deformation and thereby expressing his subjective vision in films and animation. He explores the practical application of creating reverberation as visual echoes, as well as the use of unusual reflections that appear in mirrors and other more unstable reflective surfaces, such as liquid mercury, and the refraction occurring in sculpted lenses, glass or water. The aim of said strategy is the pure expression of subjective experience, with the director using a camera as if it were an entirely free-moving paintbrush that inspires creativity and breaks loose from automatic camera movements. Accordingly, this study examines the dynamic, expressive potential of the language of catoptrics, taking as paradigmatic examplestwo of Bokanowski's short films: La Plage (1992) and Au bord du lac (1994). Our analyses of these films are aimed at demonstrating how the artist manages to bring about qualitative, transformative changes of forms and space by reflecting images on mirrors, ripples in mercury and movements of water, and by combining these elements. The system developed by Bokanowski successfully transports us to an ever-changing, poetic universe and breaks new ground in the field of animation.The authors disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Causes and Consequences of Inflation

While ethical implications of direct taxation systems have recently received renewed attention, a more veiled scheme remains unnoticed: inflation. We overview the causes of inflation and assess its consequences. Salient wealth redistributions are a defining feature of inflation, as savers and fixed income individuals see a relative wealth reduction. While avoiding this “tax” is difficult in many instances due to the primacy of money in a monetary economy, the tax codes of most developed countries allow avoidance techniques to be employed. We analyze three ways that inflation may be avoided in an attempt to preserve personal wealth, as well as the consequences of such practices
