ABSTRACT

This paper describes the process, the characteristic and the effects of Expanded Cinema. Expanded Cinema is presented after Structural Film, being experimental cinema and the moving image of the exhibition which turned up since the 1970s. In this paper, I account for the process of Expanded Cinema, which folds and unfolds as the concept of pan, and the Figure. Expanded Cinema transcends Structural Film which suggests anti-illusion, and medium-specificity. Expanded Cinema tries to reveal not the material characteristics of cinema apparatus, but the element of spirit and the concept of cinema itself. Therefore, traditional cinema apparatus is substituted for the various elements. Light and time newly break onto the art scene as an essential factor. Light and time are not sense but nonsense, the sphere of virtuality, and the realm of a symptom. When light and time have connected the concept of generality that is the sphere of representation, this is the very pan. Pan is the conjunction of the realm of virtuality and representation. Consequently, pan is not the actual space of representation but rather the intensive spatium with representation. The viewer faced with pan suffers decentralization. But pan begins to erase the zone of representation from the 1990s. It is the appearance of the territory of the Figure which is the zone of virtuality as nonrepresentation. The viewer of the Figure experiences the dissolved and cracked subject across the decentralization of the subject.
