Lines Fiction online
In our project we introduce draughtsmen and women
who see their drawings as coequal to their animations.
We show how both media inspire and complement one another.
Before all other forms of artistic expression, drawing has a great, almost anarchic freedom. Where painting has to invoke past examples or a
grand new gesture with every brushstroke, the drawing can quitly claim evrything for itself. With simple means it creates an inner dynamic it
has no need to justify. here a sketch on a paper napkin, there a concept for an intellectual construct, it can also become independent and
finally refer to nothing but itself and still give rise to a complex result. Its link to fil is obvious. A film project is sketched by hand in film
sequences.Barbara Weidle / Bettina Munk
