Reading Response George Lucas, THX 1138/Jørgen Leth, The Perfect, Human, 1968

 



George Lucas, THX 1138, (1971)

Jørgen Leth, The Perfect, Human, 1968




There's a suspicion with theoretical work that it is situated toward the future, but it can essentially be someplace else, a parallel world to our own rather than a conceivable future. Once you drop a long-term viewpoint of speculative work you immediately broaden the scope for aesthetic experimentation and innovative depiction of elective substances. One of the most well-known cinematic nonplaces is the tremendous, white space of George Lucas’s THX 1138 (1971). It is the model of future space or nonplace. But white does not continuously need to flag the long run. It can moreover propose we are watching a few kinds of try; possibly indeed a thought explore. In Jørgen Leth’s test film The Culminate Human (1967), a man, lady, and sometimes both associated with essential props to illustrate crucial human exercises such as eating, resting, kissing. In this film, the empty white space is a nonplace instead of a representation of the future. In each case, the chief makes no endeavor to build a detailed world, but instep gives a clear canvas, a “white box” onto and into which viewers can extend their claim thoughts.

They both have a definition of non-place. The definition of modern places in the super modernity is like what Marc Augé says in his book. And I am using the same definition of super modernity in the center of my recent work (Table). The emptiness in the center of my work is in the contrast with the accumulation of images around the center. I am trying to boost the notion of documentary photography. The chronology by images in news and media has been affected by the avatar and simulation. Using images as an object for controlling society leads to a new model of fraud. This kind of method for historiography emerges a new version of documentation according to the taste and not reality.
