Time Sense: cultural difference and the creation, construction and reception of animated film
Time Sense reflects a shift from a human perspective to an imagined perspective of a plant. This sense of time is not fixed. As in a dream, and Aboriginal Dreaming,the past, present and future co-exist 'Because the ancestors did not disappear at the end of the Dreaming, but remained in these sacred sites, the Dreaming is never-ending, linking the past and the present, the people and the land.'
The animation is part of a practice-based PhD undertaken by Takuya Suzukiat the Victorian College of the Arts.
PhD Dissertation 2012 - Time Sense: cultural difference and the creation, construction and reception of animated film. This dissertation explores cultural differences and the influence in creation, construction and sensibility to animated film. Integrating time philosophy and history, this thesis weaves information gathered through the research into my artwork. As a Japanese man living in Australia, I investigate cross-cultural/intercultural time theory, in search of more specific understanding of differences and similarities between cultures particularly as it relates to animation.
