Claymation is another word for clay animation. Clay animation is the art form of making animated films by stop motion filming with deformable materials, like clay. Although this technique of filming is known as clay animation plasticine is often used for calymation.
The term 'surrealistic Garden of Eden'? and 'all the natural goes awry?' may mean that Nathalie's works on the Garden of Eden may be misleading and may not be what they seems to be. she has worked on natural, organic objects and twisted them unnaturally. her work may surprise viewers.
The ' complexity of emotion' that Djurberg confronts us with is the fear of not understanding. where the tool of clay animation is often used for more innocent use, Djurberg's works are not so innocent and explores adult themes causing mixed emotions. Her works may send viewers into a intense emotional state where they may experience alot of different emotions at once.
Djurberg plays with the idea of children's stories and innocence in some of her works through the filming technique of clamation 'wich is often used for childrens animation' with adult themes. her filming style is also very innocent with background music used. she has twisted child like clamation into films that some may find disturbing.
The current facination with some designers and artist turning the innocent and sweet into something disturbing has come about due to the constant evolution and change in the world. these day's artist and designers works are more influenced by current events and what is happening around them in there worlds. As the world changes so does the art scene. i guess the world has reached a point where the disturbing is beutiful in its uniqueness, and the beutiful may sometimes be disturbing. Artist continually push the boundaries of what is natural and what is unnatural. who knows what the future holds
By my opinion, i think that Djurberg's works in clay animation were chosen for the Venice Bienale because the venice Biennale is one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. For generations the institution has been promoting new and different artistic trends and holding international contemporary art events. The venice Biennale covers a range of art forms from film and architecture, to dance and music. The Biennale is different every year it's held, Djurberg's interesting works in claymation is new and different and pushes artistic boundaries. therefore her works were chosen for the Venice Biennale because she has done something new and unique and that her work could be the starting point and inspiration for future artist.
I woudn't share Djurbergs work with friends and family simply because her work is very graphic and they may find it offensive due to there lack of understanding on her work. but i actually kinda like her work and admire the creative and artistic side of her work. i like how she is pushing boundaries in the art world and how she explores new ways to show the world her ideas.
