Claudia Hart created “Dream” in 2009 as a depiction of the physical body on the boundary between abstract and graphic. Hart created this by modeling in the 3D all the elements and then placing a “camera” in the digital space. She explains that the movements performed by the “camera” are unfamiliar to a real, physical camera, adding to the supernatural, dream-like feeling in the piece.
I admired the depth of digital modeling and creation. Despite being a “slow-action” animation, the subtle movements of the body attest to the careful craft of Hart. I think she rides along the aforementioned line of abstract and graphic very successfully. The environment elicits a sense of separation from the real world that dreams give me. The subtle movements of the woman and the environment she’s is in is calming to follow.
