Anemični film - Filmovi | Art-kino Croatia

Marcel Duchamp iskoristio je prvu otplatu svoga nasljedstva kako bi napravio film i počeo se baviti umjetnošću. Snimljen u studiju Mana Raya uz pomoć snimatelja Marca Allégreta, Anemični film sedmominutna je animacija devet igara riječima Rrose Sélavy. Nalijepljene su slovo po slovo u spiralnu obliku na okrugle crne diskove, koji su zatim nalijepljeni na gramofonske ploče. Tekstovi koji se sporo okreću izmjenjuju se sa snimkama Duchampovih Diskova s geometrijskim spiralama te tvore deset apstraktnih crteža, za koje se čini da se približavaju i udaljavaju u erotičnu ritmu.

Duchamp used the initial payment on his inheritance to make a film and to go into the art business. Anémic Cinéma, shot in Man Ray's studio with the help of cinematographer Marc Allégret, was a seven-minute animation of nine punning phrases by Rrose Sélavy. These had been pasted, letter by letter, in a spiral pattern on round black discs that were then glued to phonograph records; the slowly revolving texts alternate with shots of Duchamp's Discs Bearing Spirals, ten abstract designs whose turning makes them appear to move backward and forward in an erotic rhythm.
