CONTEMPORARY (i really like this journal,it always has lots of good stuff to look at,glad its on the list this time!)
annual 2006,p.44.
The article was about Nathalie Djurnburg who makes really interesting looking animations.
Being rather into this myself i was really inspired but also a wee bit jealous to see someone doing what i could be(sounds like with similar themes to my animations) She was a discouraged art student (from Switzerland i think) who took up boxing and then found animation.voila.
And started making her films on super 8 which I also really like.
I really like the look of the sets,characters and the stories.Which are about dark,sexual or serious sorts of themes but with humour which i think works really,really well with the technique of animation.They compliment each other in that you can tell dark stories but without being so shocking and confronting.
There are stories like two naughty girls who get smacked by a man and then beat him with a baseball bat.( i said dark)
A man who loosed both his arms and legs in a bombing and becomes happy and useless and other strange tales.
I found this article really interesting personally because of my interests and experiences in such similar things,except the boxing.
The bad thing about reading about video works is you can never see them and are left really wanting to!waaaaa.
And I would really,really like to watch these animations.
But alas I can only read about them,and so can you.yay!

sylvia:"low life scum and freaks"
i checked out some more of her work. its perverse, its colourful, and its odd. just like you ray ;)
point being, it weird, weird is good. animation? even better.
andrew: wrong is the new black, as they say. sometimes i find it's better if you can't see the actual video/ artwork/ etc...your mind fills in the blanks and can sometimes make something better than the original...
