Making Images Move reveals a new history of cinema by uncovering its connections to other media and art forms. In this richly illustrated volume, Gregory Zinman explores how moving-image artists who worked in experimental film pushed the medium toward abstraction through a number of unconventional filmmaking practices, including painting and scratching directly on the film strip; deteriorating film with water, dirt, and bleach; and applying materials such as paper and glue. This book provides a comprehensive history of this tradition of "handmade cinema" from the early twentieth century to the present, opening up new conversations about the production, meaning, and significance of the moving image. From painted film to kinetic art, and from psychedelic light shows to video synthesis, Gregory Zinman recovers the range of forms, tools, and intentions that make up cinema's shadow history, deepening awareness of the intersection of art and media in the twentieth century, and anticipating what is to come.

Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts entdeckte die Avantgarde Glas als Material und untersuchte dessen utopisches Potenzial. Beruhmt sind Glaskunstwerke wie Bruno Tauts Beitrag zur Werkbundmesse 1914 oder die Grundung der "Glasernen Kette" 1919. Transparent, fluide, sakral und diaphan - den Weg in die Glasavantgarde hatte die Literatur geebnet, konkret wurde das Denkbild an Orten der Glasproduktion, z.B. in Dusseldorf. Glas fungiert bis heute als Transmitter fur kunstlerische Gestaltung, als abstrahierendes Element, als Motor im Projekt des Universalunterrichts zwischen Kunst und Gesellschaft. Der Band untersucht Glas als Material und als Denkbild in interdisziplinarer Perspektive von der Kulturgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts bis zur Physik der weichen Materie.

Zeichnen und Schreiben: In dem vorliegenden Buch greifen zwei Ausdrucksformen ineinander. Ein Zyklus von Bleistiftzeichnungen bildet die Grundlage: karge Landschaftsfragmente, feine Portrats, grob umrissene, tanzerische Figuren. Daruber hinaus sind handschriftliche Notizen eng mit dem Gezeichneten verwoben. Oft markiert das Schreiben die erste Beruhrung des Zeichenstifts mit dem Papier. Vieles bleibt unleserlich, ist uberzeichnet. Aber der Betrachter moechte wissen, was da steht, wie die Verschmelzung von Schrift und Zeichnung zu verstehen ist. Gegliedert in autarke Kapitel werden die ratselhaften Texte zu einer eigenen, unverzichtbaren Ebene des Gesamtprojekts. Die Bilder illustrieren nicht, sie erweitern die Sprache, und diese erklart nicht, sondern bietet eine Moeglichkeit, den Vorgang des Zeichnens nachzuvollziehen
