El sueño de frida: La animación como elemento de diferenciación visual y narrativa

Abstract

This article has the objective to analyze how a stop motion animation can be used to represent specific moments of a live-action narrative: dreams, memories, thoughts and hallucinations of the character, what it means, its diegetic imaginarium. However, the appropriations of other visual means for the representations of environments and emotions are also observed. The analysis were made based on the animated sequence of Frida Kahlo’s dream, as well as on the scene in which she cuts her hair, from the film by Julie Taymor Frida (2002). A thought about the animated image and its representation (as part of a story in filmed image) is developed in accordance with the narrative and cinema concepts: visual rhetorics and the similarity of the animation of puppets with the theater, as well as cultural matters.
