[Anim] Heavy Stock (Michael Salkeld) 1997 VHSRip

[pickpocket]

Michael Salkeld's dramatic and dynamic animation Heavy Stock is a visual poem and homage to the railway and trains. Throughout the animation nothing stays still, the camera is always charging forward like a locomotive making the experience somewhat overwhelming. Salkeld constantly breaks representational forms down into flying abstract graphic shapes (if you like Kasimir Malevich's Suprematist paintings, you'll love this) and then reforms them into different scenes or images - in many respects this animation is as fast and as furious as Georges Schwizgebel's finest animations. There are several completely different art styles used throughout - suprematism, constructivism, cubism, art deco, watercolour landscapes, chalk drawings etc which all go into creating a visual overload.

There is no dialogue, but there are a few english words written on screen in parts of the animation - however you do not need to be able to read them to enjoy the animation, they are more for textural use, like the newspapers in Picasso's Cubists paintings.
