Movement

Movement is the key towards defining the relationship within single picture and multi picture objects. Movement is interpreted by three different categories such as groups, series, and sequences. The uses of these specific movements are linked by many different possible outcomes. Each deals with many variations such as tone, focus, theme, scale, narration, transitions, time, repetition, and space. I found understanding Gertrude Stein explaination about repetition very interesting in its relationship to movement. Gertrude speaks of how,” slowly coming into ordered recognition, slowly becoming clearer to someone; Repeating, then, is in everyone.” The use of objects over in a repeating matter aren’t duplicates or repeats of themselves but repetitions involving time, space, animation, metamorphosis, motif, and context. This creates the sense that identical duplicates of an object do not exist and create certain reactions for the viewer depending on how many times a repetition is shown. After closely examining what Gertrude wrote I realized how a whole scenario of movements can be controlled, manipulated, and reinvented through the use of repetition within a sequence, group, and series of images.
