“Cinema of Slowness” and “Boring” Video Art: Rethinking Time in the Moving Image
https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2025-64-3-156-170
Abstract
The study examines artistic techniques used in cinema and video art to slow down the time. Attention is focused on the dialectical relationship between three aspects of on-screen temporality: runtime, diegetic time, and phenomenological time. The author argues that “cinema of slowness” and “boring” video works, by subverting the conventions of mainstream filmmaking, open up new forms of viewer experience ranging from meditative immersion to existential questioning of the purport of time expenditure.
