This animation developed out of the utter confusion of a beginner trying to read philosophy. The quote that the animation is developed from was written by Judith Butler, a post-structuralist feminist, discussing Lacanian psychology. Suffice it to say that I have spent many, many hours trying to figure out what either Butler or Lacan could possibly be getting at and being a visual artist the only way I could get even close was to visualize this text. So I’ve animated the paragraph—my interpretation of Butler’s interpretation of Lacan’s interpretation of male / female relations - with a little help from the Beach Boys.
