Alexander Schellow - A_Biography
How can a person suffering from Alzheimer's still tell their own life? A_biography recollects through drawn animation, point by point, the emergence of a memory exactly where it seems lost - remembering: the possibility of being at a "point of view". This process takes place in a gliding state of constant transformation on the surface of a now closed body of memory. More Info (https://aneff.org.uk/film/a_biography/) | Transcript (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yhaxtY8T2ojZMsmDteI-D5U-iZ7xF7obAF5LGEvHSVo/edit?usp=sharing) Alexander’s Schellow pedagogical practice has taken him to universities, among others, in London, Paris, Tirana, Singapore, Mexico City and Brussels, where he founded AnimLAB and since 2013 holds a professorship in animation, heading an MA of more than human practices at the erg - école de recherche graphique. His research originates in an interest for methods of memory (re)construction, which he developed and pursued in daily drawing and animation practice. The hybrid processes materialize into projects that have been shown widely internationally, most recently at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia. In addition, collaborations in recent years have focused in particular on the creation of specific archives (e.g. Colonial Family Films, Belgium) or on interfaces of human/digital (re)cognition, especially in the field of current deep learning developments.
