Dialogues about transforamtion.

Using the fragment of dialogues of young people from the movie ” Strict boy” directed by Abram Room (1936), the author has converted its form of representation. In the first step he printed film footage on the paper , and then returned it back to video using photo animation technique. Thus working with multiple media transformations , the author tries to raise the question of the form of video statements as a generator of new meanings . By denying the separate description of work as part of it, author inserted the whole description into the body. In other words, the work is at the same time a description of itself.
The author used the three -part narrative structure: first and final parts are the discussion of the work itslef, and the middle part – original dialogues of characters from the original movie.
