Estetyka hiperobiektów – reprezentacje globalnego ocieplenia i archiwum antropocenu
The Aesthetics of Hyperobjects: Representations of Global Warming and the Archive of the Anthropocene

Summary/Abstract: The author inquires about the aesthetics of hyperobjects and their visual representations in contemporary cinema. From the perspective of the Anthropocene, the most inter- esting hyperobject for him is global warming, and he finds its extensive representation in Impression météo (dir. Nico- las Carrier, Marie Ouazzani, 2019). Interpreting the film image of French artists, he focuses on presenting specific features of hyperobjects found in Timothy Morton’s work: viscosity, nonlocality, temporal undulation, interobjecti- vity, and phasing. The author demonstrates that contem- porary film art has much more to offer than the commonly available scientific images of global warming. He explains the difference between intersubjectivity and interobjectiv- ity by showing that thanks to the category of interobjec- tivity, we can think about the archive of the Anthropocene.
