Radicales Libres - Freedom: el cine de Yoko Ono

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 28/08/2018 - 08:27

Las películas de Yoko Ono ocupan un lugar capital en la historia del cine experimental estadounidense en la década de los años sesenta del pasado siglo, un momento de especial efervescencia creativa, una época de desafíos formales, industriales, artísticos y políticos, y una época en la que el cine comenzó a ser visto, sin tapujos, por muchos artistas como un medio de expresión y experimentación al mismo nivel que la performance, las artes plásticas o el arte sonoro.

Flesh Cinema: The Corporeal Turn in American Avant-Garde Film
Flesh Cinema: The Corporeal Turn in American Avant-Garde Film explores the groundbreaking representation of the body in experimental films of the 1960s and 1970s. Focusing on sexually explicit films by Andy Warhol, Barbara Rubin, Stan Brakhage, Carolee Schneemann, Yoko Ono and Paul Sharits, this book demonstrates how experimental cinema not only transformed American visual culture, but also the lives of those who created it. By situating these films in relation to the civil rights and sexual liberation movements, Flesh Cinema investigates how social politics continue to inform their meaning.
