Abstract

Despite their obvious differences, animation and contemporary art share a common space within the field of experimental animation. German Avant-Garde’s abstract films of the early 20th century emerge as a result of the graphic expansion towards the cinematographic medium, opening new doors to animation in Europe and America, independently from the big studios. In mid 20th century the animation derived from the aforementioned experimentation was adopted by certain trends of independent film. Nevertheless, since the seventies, experimental animation has succeeded in separating itself from the structure most commonly associated to film by incorporating other variables, placing that production in an ambiguous position. To further explore the consonance between animation and contemporary art, this essay delves into some cases that show the space that they share and the contributions that have emerged as a result.
