@deanduncan63Saw #TheActofSeeingwithOnesOwnEyes. Warning! This is a film of an autopsy, or an assembly featuring a number of autopsies …
… It is terribly distressing! And terribly moving too, for the simple, almost chaste way in which Brakhage shot & assembled it all …
… It is as if he had set out to avoid any obfuscation or irreverence. The thing, itself! (King Lear, Act III, scene iv.)
#TheActofSeeing…, cont’d. Still, sans context, awareness of purpose or procedure, or answers to the questions they obviously ask at an autopsy …
… this is partly a distressing visit to the charnel house. Unbearably poignant. “Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow …”
