Stan Brakhage

I found Stan Brakhage to be really interesting. I loved his idea of the 'unruling eye'.

Metaphores on Vision '64
What is the nature of the moving world and how can it be represented?
Distorted visual reality and questioning of the screen.
What we see as reality. Our 'ruling' eye. He transforms images, leaves us guessing what it is we are looking at.
'Act of seeing the world'
Brakhage intended to film not the world itself but the act of seeing the world. Brakhage's films were themselves expressions of a single, great metaphor: visual perception.

This quote from his essay Metaphores on Vision is definately something I hope to look into for this project.
Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective, an eye unprejudiced by compositional logic, and eye which does not respond to the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an adventure of perception. How many colors are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby unaware of 'Green'? How many rainbows can light create for the untutored eye? How aware of variations in heat waves can that eye be? Imagine a world alive with incomprehensible objects and shimmering with an endless variety of movement and innumerable gradations of color. Imagine a world before the 'beginning was the word.'
