EnglishAnimated Women
Practica tradițională a autoportretului întâlnește noua tehnologie a realității augmentate într-un amplu proiect expozițional dedicat excelenței feminine în animație. Animated Women, inițiativa ce își propune să ofere mai multă vizibilitate creatoarelor din industrie, ajunge în România la cea de-a 16-a ediție Animest (8-17 octombrie, la București). În perioada festivalului, creațiile artistelor selectate vor prinde viață în cadrul unei instalații fizice, prin intermediul tehnologiei AR.
Inițiativa Animated Women a debutat în 2020, în cadrul Fantoche International Animation Film Festival (Elveția), cu peste 40 de autoportrete animate. Proiectul a poposit de curând și în Olanda, la Kaboom Animation Festival, care a selectat 14 portrete pentru a le expune pe panourile publicitate din Amsterdam și Utrecht, într-un traseu itinerant dedicat artistelor din industrie. Până acum, aproximativ 100 de lucrări au prins viață prin intermediul tehnologiei AR în cadrul proiectului dedicat excelenței feminine în animație. Portretele pot fi admirate pe http://www.animatedwomen.club/.

Lucie is an experimental animator from France and currently based in London, where she recently graduated from Royal College of Art. She composes her films following an empirical collage approach : drawing, shooting film, sound recording, editing, researching, happen all simultaneously. Her animation practice is driven by her impressionistic perception of reality. Each of her frames is spontaneously drawn focusing on colors, light and her current feelings. The succession of these images shows the time passing, as well as the flow of emotions going through her mind.

The main themes of her works are the absurdity of the world around us and the surreal, while other works and films focus on conveying the unconscious and its desires, fears, and the anxiety of the insomniac mind.
