WEEK 4. UNSETTLE US. Extra

In this episode I elaborate on my ideas for my project next term. I also talk about two images I brought in for the class to discuss. One is a photogram of the film ‘An Andalusian Dog (Un Chien Andalou)’ (1929) by Buñuel with scenography by Salvador Dalí. I talk about the photogram of the film where they slice the eye of the character with a blade. I mention ‘A Clockwork Orange’ (1972) a film by Kubrick which also has a very unsettling scene. For example, the one when a main character is forced to watch awful images on a television and they are unable to close their eyes or look away. I talk about the second image which is one of the poster pictures for the album ‘The Wall’ (1979) by Pink Floyd and the resemblance this particular picture has with the painting ‘The Scream’ (1873) by Munch- they are both unsettling images. I mention the video of The Wall as another point of reference on how to disturb the audience without necessarily having extremely graphic images and how these ideas will influence my performance for the next semester.
