GET UP!!!! IT’S MOTION TIME!

Time is always moving, and this has been a theme across my analyzed works over the last few months. In the films I watched, I observed consistent plots of issues with the past and fear of the future. In the paintings and photographs, I observed attempts to capture moments in time- in an effort to preserve them and live in them forever.

As far as my written blog posts go, the common theme that connects these works is the idea of time and memory. "Le Jetee" explores the concept of time travel and memory, as the protagonist travels through time to revisit his past and future. "Some Like It Hot" features characters who are forced to disguise themselves and create new identities in order to escape their past. "Hamlet" deals with themes of memory and the past, as the title character grapples with the memory of his father and his duty to avenge his murder. Finally, "Re-enactment" is a work that explores the relationship between past and present, as the artist re-enacts historical events in order to bring them to life in the present.

These mentioned works are all tied together with the idea that our experiences and past shape our present and future. There is a consistent obsession among the main characters with changing the way that things are; a refusal of acceptance of the present reality. In each of the films and plays I analyzed, their efforts to alter reality always fail and end up in a less comfortable place than where they began. The lesson that may be gathered from each of these films is that acceptance is the true answer to most of our large life problems.

The visual art forms that I analyzed also have a different connecting theme. "Fireflies" by Dan Gerhartz, "Gong" by Peter Alechinsky, "Scorpion" by Kathy Balding, and "Behind The Gare St. Lazare. 1932" by Henri Cartier-Bresson, are from different art forms: "Fireflies" is an oil painting, "Gong" is a print, "Scorpion" is a sculpture, and "Behind The Gare St. Lazare. 1932" is a photograph. However, there is still a common theme that connects these works together.

After examining the four works, one common theme that emerges is the idea of movement and action. "Fireflies" and "Gong" both depict figures in motion, with the former showing a woman walking through a field and the latter featuring a group of figures seemingly in the middle of a dance or ritual. "Scorpion" is also a work that emphasizes movement, as the sculpture depicts a scorpion in the process of striking its prey. Similarly, "Behind The Gare St. Lazare. 1932" captures a fleeting moment of action, as a man leaps over a puddle of water in an urban environment.

The theme of movement could be interpreted in many different ways, but I find it extremely powerful when a still art form, such as a painting, sculpture, or a photograph, can capture a single moment in which action was taking place. Art can capture fleeting moments of motion and energy, and this brings my blog theme back around to the theme of time and the human obsession with capturing it and preserving it, ultimately in a desperate effort to control it.

In terms of art, the theme of motion ties in with the theme of time through the idea of capturing a moment in time. As I mentioned earlier, the works "Fireflies" by Dan Gerhartz and "Behind The Gare St. Lazare. 1932" by Henri Cartier-Bresson both capture a fleeting moment of motion, freezing a particular moment in time that might otherwise be lost or forgotten. In this sense, the depiction of motion can be seen as a way of exploring the passing of time and the way in which moments of motion are often markers of change and progress.

Furthermore, the theme of motion can also be used to explore the concept of time in a more philosophical sense, which is personally valuable to me. The philosopher Heraclitus famously said, "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." This idea of constant change and motion is also reflected in the passing of time, as every moment is constantly in motion and changing. By exploring the theme of motion, art can therefore delve into deeper questions about the nature of time, change, and progress.
