The 12 frames of animation that create The 1 Second Film were painted at California Institute of the Arts on March 8th, 2001 (International Women's Day). The one-second of experimental animation depicts a partially nude woman and provides an artistic platform for addressing the depiction of women's sexuality in the media.
When you reduce a film to a single moment, it can take on a heightened importance. Media and advertising often reduce women to objectified images of sexuality to sell or market the latest cars, gadgets, movie, etc. What exists beyond the frame of a moment?
Art can provide a powerful platform for expression. Each frame of The 1 Second Film had its own artistic director, allowing multiple perspectives on a single moment. For the voice of the woman in the one-second of animation, we plan to collect audio submissions from our thousands of producers saying the word "one," and compressing the voices into the one-second of audio.
