| Popis: | 96 The process of art creation is like a journey. In this essay, the author employs the journey motif in the titles of the chapters. The process of creation is a search for the unknown. It is like the cottage in the forest in Andersen’s “Hansel and Gretel,” on which the titles are based. Chapter One describe how, after observations of everyday life, one can employ more precise language of art to convey one’s thoughts. The cottage is the destination of the journey. At the beginning of the journey, one walks along the paths in the forest, watching the surroundings. It is about the issues and motivations for art creation. In the depths of the forest, one needs a compass and map as the guide. Therefore in Chapter Two, the compass and map is a metaphor of the mapping of the historical development of video imaging related to the author’s creative work. After the exploration, one may want to take a rest in a cottage. Here one may find many things that have been, or remain his or her concerns, and one may start contemplating on them. Chapter Three’s title, “Spanning Ten Day,” is an allusion to Boccaccio’s The Decameron. It recounts the experiences that have influenced the author’s art during graduate studies. This is a retrospection of the narratives and events in the development of the author’s art, and they are also important elements in art creation. Chapter Four, “The Bread Crumbs,” discusses the creation process and contents of the author’s art works. It is like the crumbs in “Hansel and Gretel” that are used to indicate the path, but the indication is so fragile. The subheadings in this chapter employ sign-like numeral dates. At the end of the essay, the author recapitulates the stories and emotions, as well as profound memories that the author has tried to avoid. There is a gap and rupture between memory and reality. This attests to the repeatability, monotonicity, and the unspeakability of the blown-up portions of an art work. And this is the beauty of art. |
