i have recently viewed three different pieces of art from different artist's. one of the pieces is called koyaanisqatsi which is made by Godfrey Reggio. another piece of art is called "girl chewing gum" which is made by john smith, and the third video is called "material gestures" which is made by Paul McCarthy.
the main point that links koyaanisqati and girl chewing gum is that they have non diagetic sound with the narrative. in both the videos there is no sound but in koyaanisqatsi there is background music. girl chewing gum was made in 1976, technology at that time was very good but nowadays it is and old form of technology. koyaanisqatsi was made by Godfrey Reggio in 1983. koyaanisqatsi has a variety of shots which range from long shots of the grand canyon to close up shots of buildings or streets in America. the concept of this video is very weird but interesting for example the video contains scenes that have explosions going on but the background music is very peaceful. koyaainisqtsi is very different from girl chewing gum because there are many different visual images. girl chewing gum is in black and white and that shows us how old the video is.
material gestures has diagetic sound but i don't think anyone speaks in the video however you can hear objects moving in the background and you can hear him moaning and groaning. material gestures has a lot of explicit material and i am surprised that art gallery's don't mind having that sort of material in there gallery's.
i think that koyaanisqatsi and girl chewing gum are similar in some ways but they also have many differences. material gestures is in no way whatsoever similar. however there are some similarities, for example it was made the same sort of time as girl chewing gum.
