Screen Interiors de Pat Kirkham

Screen Interiors

Editat de Pat Kirkham, Sarah A Lichtman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mai 2021

Această monografie în format hardback, publicată de BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC, ne propune o incursiune senzorială în arhitectura spațiilor fictive care ne-au modelat percepția vizuală. Recomandăm Screen Interiors ca pe o explorare metodică a modului în care decorul încetează să fie un simplu fundal, devenind un personaj activ care amplifică emoția și dictează ritmul acțiunii. De la interioarele domestice din cinematografia sovietică a anilor '20 și până la estetica minimalistă a New York-ului anilor '70, volumul demonstrează cum obiectele și compartimentarea spațiului reflectă clasa socială, genul și identitatea.

Pe raftul de artă, alături de Cinematic Style, acest album se distinge prin rigoarea academică aplicată unor genuri extrem de variate, refuzând să se limiteze doar la estetică și migrând spre o analiză profundă a culturii materiale. Considerăm că experiența de lectură este îmbogățită de prezența fotogramelor atent selectate, care permit privitorului să vizualizeze imediat disjungerea dintre designul interior și cel exterior discutat în text. Structura este organizată tematic, debutând cu secțiunea „House and Home”, unde confortul și ierarhiile sociale sunt analizate prin prisma spațiului locuit, și continuând cu explorări despre „The Curated Home”.

Această lucrare continuă preocupările editorului Pat Kirkham, cunoscută pentru History of Design, extinzând analiza de la obiectul istoric la cel proiectat pe ecran. Spre deosebire de Creating Interior Atmosphere, care se concentrează pe tehnica mise-en-scène-ului, Screen Interiors funcționează ca un instrument critic care decodifică limbajul vizual al decorului în contextul istoriei globale a filmului.

De ce să citești această carte

Ne adresăm pasionaților de scenografie, istoria artei și critică de film care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele invizibile din spatele camerei. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă nouă asupra modului în care un interior bine proiectat poate defini psihologia unui personaj. Este o resursă esențială pentru a învăța cum să „citești” un spațiu cinematografic, oferind argumente teoretice solide susținute de exemple iconice din istoria filmului.

Descriere

Covering everything from Hollywood films to Soviet cinema, London's queer spaces to spaceships, horror architecture and action scenes, Screen Interiors presents an array of innovative perspectives on film design.

Essays address questions related to interiors and objects in film and television from the early 1900s up until the present day. Authors explore how interior film design can facilitate action and amplify tensions, how rooms are employed as structural devices and how designed spaces can contribute to the construction of identities. Case studies look at disjunctions between interior and exterior design and the inter-relationship of production design and narrative.

With a lens on class, sexuality and identity across a range of films including Twilight of a Woman's Soul (1913), The Servant (1963), Caravaggio (1986), and Passengers (2016), and illustrated with film stills throughout, Screen Interiors showcases an array of methodological approaches for the study of film and design history.
