“Making Visible”: Films as Expanded, Virtual Field of Work of Art
Abstract
The article provides an opportunity to reconsider selected Polish films about art (e.g. Multiple Realities of Leon Chwistek, dir. R. Waśko; A Trace, dir. H. Włodarczyk; Dream and Image, dir. B. Dziworski; Praise the Bull, dir. A. Papuziński) as a specifically conceived laboratory of the work of art. In the film environment an interpretative visualisation takes place of its expanded, virtual field - that is making visible and “testing” that, which up till now remained in the intuitive responsive sphere, the discursively explicated interpretative projection of the viewer/historian of art, or the imaginary horizon of the artist. In the first part of the article, the author outlines the theoretical basis for thinking about the type of “creative document” in the area of this genre and explains his understanding of the terms “expanded field” and “virtuality”. The next two parts of the text are analyses of selected films with particular focus on two issues: visualisation of “life” and “unconsciousness” of a work of art.
