Claymation is a service mark used for an animation process in which clay figurines are manipulated and filmed to produce an image of lifelike movement. This was seen first techniques of # dimensional cartoon.
What I think that the term means from my understanding when I look at this work ‘surrealistic Garden of Eden ‘ surrealistic referring to serialism which reminds me of Van Gogh art pieces that reference to a whole new different world and in my opinion the understanding would be Nathalie’s interpretation of the garden of Eden referring to the bible. And the term ‘ all is natural goes awry’ my understanding of this term is that natural elements goes out of the ordinary and different also something that is not normal and could be unreal.
What I think confronts us through emotions in Nathalie’s works Claymation’s is the thought of serial-ism being in someone’s else’s world or being in a world that is different and out of the ordinary as its mentioned in the title of the works ‘all that is natural goes awry’ also the work in my opinion confronts us with the emotion of fear mixing reality with the unreal also the sexual themes would relate fear, war, violence, sadism and investigation of the darker side of the human soul.
In relation to what she has done it relates to old animations such as Wallace and grommet using clay as away of 3d shape to make a carton seem more realistic she also uses traditional folk tales.
In My opinion to why designers today have a fascination with taking the theme of innocent and sweet into something disturbing is that the world is changing everyday and by having a new idea of changing it in a way that the viewer will think differently about the emotions of what the work is about for example Micky mouse we think happy carton, very famous and is generally focused on kids but designers change the look of it and make it and becomes more disturbing and grungy we have a different perspective and different feelings towards it this could also relate to post modernism “Re thinking of the new” or development of the new (modern)
In my opinion I think that Nathalie’s work is interesting because it plays with the mind thinking that u are in a surreal world also the videos of her works engage with the viewer as well especially the music though it may seem weird and different it relates to the works. When I look at her work I have different emotions because it confronts us with many thoughts in how we would preserve things example would be Claymation’s, is generally known as an animation or cartoon but when looking at her work it is a different feeling this would refer to hen tai.
