The talk will focus on the plastic and “metamorphic” power of certain living forms, in particular plants, which are apparently inert (or rather, inert to the naked eye) but can be animated by different media. Marie Rebecchi will examine on the one hand the relationship between movement and the metamorphosis of living forms; on the other hand, she will delve into the relationship between the animation of images and animism, drawing on reflections by directors and film theorists such as Jean Epstein and Sergei Eisenstein on the “animist” power of the cinematographic medium, reflections first posed in 1910 and 1920.
The use of time manipulation techniques in photography, cinema and digital images allow us to observe the deployment of a specific “heterotemporality” of the living (in particular the growth of plants), as well as the upheaval of the spatio-temporal coordinates through which human perception is organized. Many artists today are challenging the opposition between nature and technology, showing that photography is nothing other than an extension of photosynthesis and that microorganisms are already creating “living images.”
