SLOWNESS, SILENCE AND DETACHMENT AS METAPHORS FOR THE LOSS AND REGAINING OF ANIMA
Abstract
This article deals with some of the esthetic and poetical features shared by various art forms in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. We will see that in the field of video art, Information Technology and especially slow motion intersect in particular ways with the principles organizing sound material in contemporary composition and musical interpretation. «Slow motion», «silent music», «detached sound» and other poetical principles will be examined, using examples from the Bill Viola’s video art and the work of Arvo Pärt, Giya Kancheli, Vladimir Martynov as well as Mikhail Pletnev, Grigory Sokolov, Valery Afanassiev and Christoph Eschenbach, among others. The analyses reflect the author’s interest in the link between creative intention and Carl Jung’s theories of archetypes. The archetypal image of the anima is associated with hellenic conceptions of the Soul as a category. «The loss of the anima» (Jung) and efforts to regain it in artistic contexts are dealt with as problems which are particularly relevant to contemporary creation.
