Uma Geologia de Filmes-fósseis: As imagens de sobrevivência através do tempo e do espaço na era digital
Resumo
Este artigo explora a relação entre o conceito de fósseis e o cinema de não-ficção contemporâneo. Centrando-nos no espaço-tempo do cinema, na materialidade e no ecofeminismo, na tentativa de representar o ambiente natural, o ser humano deixa de estar no centro da representação. Os temas contemporâneos vão desde a iconografia das pedras até à sobrevivência da imagem, ao arquivo e à sua activação na era digital. Ao analisar obras selecionadas de cineastas contemporâneos – Barbara Hammer, Deborah Stratman, Ana Vaz, Adrián Balseca, Eloïse Le Gallo, Julia Borderie e muitos outros –, esta pesquisa pretende percorrer produções contemporâneas a partir de uma perspectiva estética e narrativa num Antropoceno e ver como novas estratégias são estabelecidas para representar o mundo natural.
