Martha Colburn imagines Diana Wagman: An Electric Literature Single Sentence Animation (Fixed)

Artist Martha Colburn animates a sentence from Author Diana Wagman's transcendent, funny, harrowing tale of a young womans first sexual relationship after a mastectomy. http://www.electricliterature.com/ele...

Wagman is the author of three novels, most recently Bump.

Music by Nick DeWitt.

Single Sentence Animations are creative collaborations between writers published in Electric Literature and contemporary visual artists. The writer selects a single sentence from his or her work and the animator creates a short film in response.

Electric Literature is a bi-monthly anthology of short fiction dedicated to reinvigorating the short story using new media and innovative distribution.

Thank you for uploading this gem. I had recently come across an old article by Chris Robinson on the work of Martha Colburn, although I disliked the article I found the stills from her previous works very intriguing. This is the first her works I have seen and I find her style fascinating. I look forward to seeing more of her work.

Martha Colburn screened some work at the Electric Literature launch party last night. Live performance added even more texture to the already overwhelmingly tactile animation. The only drawback is that it makes me feel very lazy by comparison.
