| |
| − |
| |
| − | Anemic Cinema or Anémic Cinéma (1926) is a Dadaist, surrealist, or experimental film made by Marcel Duchamp.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The film depicts whirling animated drawings—which Duchamp called Rotoreliefs—alternated with puns in French.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Duchamp signed the film with his alter ego name of Rrose Sélavy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Rotoreliefs were a phase of Duchamp's spinning works. To make the optical "play toys" he painted designs on flat
| |
| − |
| |
| − | cardboard circles and spun them on a phonograph turntable that when spinning the flat disks appeared 3-dimensional.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He had a printer run off 500 sets of six of the designs and set up a booth at a 1935 Paris inventors' show to sell them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The venture was a financial disaster, but some optical scientists thought they might be of use in restoring 3-dimensional sight to people with one eye.[1]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In collaboration with Man Ray and Marc Allégret, Duchamp filmed early versions of the Rotoreliefs and they named the first film version Anémic Cinéma.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Rotoreliefs are alternated with nine revolving disks with the following text in French, consisting of puns and alliteration by Duchamp

| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1920 Duchamps special interest in motion and optical effects resulted in, what he called, 'rotoreliefs':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | cardboard discs, printed with patterns creating an illusion of a 3D (spatial) object when turning around on
| |
| − |
| |
| − | a 'phonograph' (record player) and especially for the rotorelief designed machines. Abstract figures, but
| |
| − |
| |
| − | also objects such as a champagne glass or an egg-cup with an egg etc. where the 'motives' on these discs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Maybe Duchamp hoped to realize the prophecy of Apollinaire that he was foreordained to 'be the conciliator of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | art with people'. He rented a stand at the Concours Lépine, an annual fair for fancy domestic gadgets and general
| |
| − |
| |
| − | inventions, and made a display with his rotoreliefs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | People were very interested, but nobody purchased any of the cardboard rotoreliefs: some rotoreliefs were for sale,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | but there's reason to doubt this intention to be anything more than just another example of the inquisitive mind of Marcel Duchamp.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The rotorelief as an excursion to a non museal approach of the creative process however, is very real. Of course
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Duchamp would humorously 'tone down' his act - as a result of his moderate (often referred to as nihilistic) philosophy
| |
| − |
| |
| − | of life - but he wouldn't have made this 'invention' if he didn't take it very seriously as a creative process.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The 'déposée' (deposit) of the invention at the 'Tribunal de commerce de la Seine' in 1935 has to be -
| |
| − |
| |
| − | almost beyond doubt - viewed in the same way: as an attempt to a non museal creative process.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1926 he also made a film "Anemic Cinema", in collaboration with Man Ray, based on the rotoreliefs and additional textual material.
