What does the term – Expanded Cinema really mean?
Expanded Cinema is a comparatively a new visual medium, that combines the power of film with other visual art forms. It is within this medium that a physical relationship occurs between film and the other visual arts. This is perhaps one of the reasons why expanded cinema is one of the most exciting prospects for the visual arts in the future.
Expanded Cinema means many things. It can be engaging some of the following categories: the elaboration of screen space, multi-projection as inter-related image, environmental documentation, environmental, participation/events, installation, performance and other works which were a mixture of some or all of these. It is important to say that expanded cinema is a dynamic, evolving art form. One of its major contributions is its inclusion of live performance by the artists.
Yet expanded cinema is all around us. Today we are used to seeing galleries filled with moving images, film and video, not to mention the excess of images that surround us in the urban environment – images that we absorb and which in turn absorb us.
