6.–12. 12., Kinodvor.Galerija

Zakonca Priit in Olga Pärn sta svoji ugledni samostojni umetniški karieri zadnja leta združila predvsem na polju animiranega filma. Kljub mešanju njunih slogov pri izdelavi prvega skupnega risanega filma sta tudi vsak zase mednarodno uveljavljena umetnika. Zlasti Priit je s svojo likovno govorico pomembno zaznamoval več generacij likovnih ustvarjalcev in animatorjev v Estoniji, na Finskem in drugod po svetu.

Razstava Življenje brez Gabrielle Ferri predstavlja prenos iz medija animiranega filma v galerijski prostor in obiskovalcem ponuja edinstveno možnost razumevanja procesa ustvarjanja animiranega filma. Razstavljene bodo risbe v tehniki oglja in tuša, pripravljalne skice in povečane filmske sličice, na ekranu pa bo ob tem predvajan animirani film. Razstava ponuja možnost podrobne analize kompleksne grafične podobe filma, saj prinaša vpogled v različne grafične ravni, ki na filmu sestavljajo celoto.

Avtor Priit Pärn poetično razlaga pomen razstave z naslednjimi besedami: »Film je – tako kot samo življenje – tok posameznih podob. Na filmu se te kažejo kot posamični posnetki, v življenju pa kot posamezni trenutki. Ti trenutki skozi čas ustvarijo zgodbo. Tako tudi pri filmu lahko opazimo čudovite trenutke, in takrat si želimo, da bi se čas ustavil. Osebno ustvarjam te trenutke z risanjem in slikanjem, ali s fotografiranjem. Ko delam film, imam še druge ustvarjalne možnosti. Za razstavoŽivljenje brez Gabrielle Ferri smo izbrali najlepše trenutke iz filma – da bi jih videli in začutili, vas vabim, da si razstavo ogledate.“ Priit Pärn

Razstava Življenje brez Gabrielle Ferri izvirno filmsko gradivo – risbe, skice in povečave podob iz filma – predstavlja širši javnosti. Ker ponuja širok pregled filma Življenje brez Gabrielle Ferri, njegove kompleksnosti in večplastnosti, si jo je mogoče ogledati tudi brez poznavanja filmske zgodbe.

In recent years, the married couple Priit and Olga Pärn have joined their acclaimed solo careers in art, particularly in the field of animated film. Despite mixing their styles when making their first joint animated film, they remain two individual artists of international renown. Priit has particularly marked with his fine art language several generations of visual artists and animators in Estonia, Finland and elswhere.

The exhibition Life without Gabriella Ferri as a transfer of contents from the medium of animated film to gallery space, provides the visitors with a unique opportunity to understand the process of making an animated film. On display will be drawings made in charchoal and indian ink, preparation sketches and enlarged film stills, with the film being played on a screen constantly. By providing us with an insight into various graphic levels that are merged within the film, the exhibition enables us to analyse in detail the complex graphic images of the film.

The author Priit Pärn explains the importance of the exhibition poetically by saying: “Film – just like life as such – is a flow of individual images. In the film, these are shown as individual stills, and in life, as individual moments. Through time, these moments compose a story. And so in a film we notice wonderful moments when we would wish to stop the time. I personally create such moments by drawing and painting or by taking photos. When making a film, I have other creative options. To make the exhibition Life without Gabriella Ferri, we have chosen the most beautiful stills from the film for you to see and feel them, therefore I invite you to visit the exhibition.” Priit Pärn

Life without Gabriella Ferri presents the original film material to a wider public – drawings, sketches and film still enlargements. As the exhibition offers an extensive overview of Life without Gabriella Ferri, of its complexity and layers, it could also be viewed without knowing the film narrative.
