Aline Helmcke
During my studies at the UdK I was totally into drawing, trying to expand the limits of the medium. I was very much interested in finding out more about the process of drawing and ways to capture and depict it, so the results were series of drawings which then got presented as series, installation… or a drawn animation film. This is how I became interested into drawn animation. To me animation seemed to bundle all the aspects I am interested in: the moving image/drawing or image in motion, its rhythm and a dialogue between sound and image. But the more I got involved into drawn animation, the more I began to appreciate the fact that I am also working on drawings that are still and explicitly not part of an animation film.
