"THE SUICIDE SHOP" AS AN EXAMPLE OF DARK HUMOR

Abstract

Author(s): Bahadır UÇAN

Humor, in general, uses some kind of symbols rather than objecting an idea or event directly to reader or spectator. In this sense, symbolizing which is used in almost every kind of art based on drawing, has also great harmony with humor. Caricature and animation are taking advantage of humor more than any other drawing-based art disciplines. Moreover, caricature can be defined as art form of humor. In “The Suicide Shop” film, this combination between humor and art is extended to upper limits through dark comedy. In this paper, humor and animation art relation is tried to be conveyed through the elements of visual expression through film. The connection between humor and the art of animation are tried to be discussed.
