This year I had the privilege of being chosen to design the poster for the 2013 edition of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
Here is the first step of my creative process.
My idea was to use the interpretation that one may give to ambiguous drawings and exploit such visual imagination so that each viewer might appropriate the artwork in his or her own way, so as to create a real animated spirit. The aim is not what we could suggest to spectators, explicitly or implicitly, but what comes from their own interpretation. the main feature of animation is the aspect that we want to give it, and this facet is guided by feelings, thoughts, associations of our imaginary and personal history. From an historical perspective, the Rorschach test, given its own nature, both calls to the subject’s sensoriality and his unconscious, but especially to the projection ability that arises from his own free interpretation. My work intention was to exploit the spontaneous answers produced from the subject when he looks at the visual, in order to play on such visual perception process and mental representation.
