The master's thesis But Still, She Cries: An Animated Music Video as a Spatial Intervention is divided into theoretical and practical sections. In the theoretical part, I focus on the fields of animation and artistic interventions in public spaces. I present a historical overview of animated films with a special emphasis on animated music videos. I highlight key milestones and factors that have influenced the development of animated music videos, paying particular attention to the diversity of approaches, techniques, and stylistic expressions. I examine more contemporary examples of animated music videos that use collage as an expressive technique, combining video or photography with elements of classical or stop-motion animation. In the field of artistic interventions in public spaces, I raise questions about the nature of public space and the role of art in this context, and I explore factors that influence the relationship between space and artistic intervention.
In the practical part of the thesis, I present the process of creating an animated music video for the song Rahoon by the group Lilamors, as well as the planning and execution of a spatial intervention in the form of a light and sound pavilion in Sežana. I begin by analyzing the song and presenting the concept of the music video, which I developed in collaboration with the band. I also explain the visual language and technical execution. I then focus on the concept of the spatial intervention and the selection of the site, highlighting the key conditions for implementation. I describe the process of creating and setting up the light and sound pavilion and summarize observations from the four events held. I conclude with a reflection on the project's impact on the local community and suggest possibilities for further improvements.
