Fluxus Film

After watching all of the fluxus movies on ubu.com, I though End After 9 is still my favorite. I like the humor it brought from the expectation we paid to what will happen after 9, it will just really end? or something else? But it appeared that nothing happed, the movie just ended after 9, like what the title said. It’s sort of strange, but memorable.
I found the key factors of the Fluxus artistic philosophy that define the majority of Fluxus work:
1. Fluxus is an attitude. It is not a movement or a style.
2.Fluxus is intermedia.[5] Fluxus creators like to see what happens when different media intersect. They use found and everyday objects, sounds, images, and texts to create new combinations of objects, sounds, images, and texts.
3.Fluxus works are simple. The art is small, the texts are short, and the performances are brief.
4.Fluxus is fun. Humour has always been an important element in Fluxus. (source:wikipedia.com)

End After 9 is typical Fluxus work according to above philosophies. It attracted audiences’ interest and took jabs at the seriousness of modern art by simple using numbers and text. It is simple, small and brief, and to be more important, it’s fun.
