Phenomenological Analysis the Architectur of Image in Zhang Yimou's Cinema: A Case Study of the Film Hero (2002) with Reference to Juhani Pallasmaa's Approach
Keywords:
Tao, Zhang Yimou, Architectural imagery, Film phenomenology, Juhani PallasmaaAbstract
This research examines the role of architectural imagery in Zhang Yimou's cinema, with a focus on the film Hero (2002). Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology and drawing on Juhani Pallasmaa's perspectives on architectural phenomenology, the study demonstrates how Zhang Yimou utilizes colors and set design as symbolic tools to narrate the epics and history of China. Concepts of Taoism and phenomenology are reflected in Yimou's architectural imagery in a way that creates a profound, multisensory experience for the audience. The significance of this research lies in providing a theoretical framework for the phenomenological analysis of imagery in Zhang Yimou's cinema, which can contribute to a deeper understanding of the relation between image architectural and the sensory experience of the audience in film. The findings reveal a meaningful connection between image architectural and architectural phenomenology, leading to the development of a theoretical framework for analyzing the phenomenology of imagery in Zhang Yimou's cinema.
