Jan Svankmajer: Dimensions of Dialogue Part 2
The first part of the Dimensions of Dialogue is insanely captivating, creative and compelling. The use of claymation adds significant depth to the piece. I loved the use of clay in the beginning of the piece when the couple is having intercourse. They are connected and intertwined with each other, so the clay forms one solid being. In the end when the man and women are clawing at each other, the clay is now being ripped out chunks at a time, showing frustration and fury. The potential "baby" is just a lump of clay, yet to form a shape, allowing the characters to mold the lump, toss it, and push it aside, displaying their desire to rid the burden.
