움직이는 그림, 애니메이션을 다시 생각하기

Abstract

This article starts the difference between film and animation. Its purpose is to rethink an animation`s phenomenology as a moving picture. I differentiate the film from animation in nature of each other. The former produces an `illusion of reality`, the latter gives an `illusion of life`. Film is basically based on the photographic realism, while animation on the pictorial deformation of reality like a drawing or a cartoon. So we might say that film concerns the death instinct, Thanatos, and animation the life instinct, Eros. The article`s ultimate aim is to establish the philosophical foundation of animation by clarifying its phantasmagoric but unique nature. At last, the period of kino-eye passes away that of kino-brush is coming soon.
