Berger examines the impact of photography and reproduction on our appreciation of art.
Some highlights:
Manipulation by sound, movement, context
Reproductions have allowed images to come to us, vs us going to them. There is no longer one unique position an image belongs to. They are seen through millions of reproductions, in millions of contexts - e.g. through your screen, surrounded by your own furniture etc.
Paitings modified by movement and sound
Meaning is liable to be manipulated and transformed. no longer a constant
Silence and Stillness
The images in paitings are silent, still
the lines on your screen, even pages of a book are ever moving, never still.
But paitings demonstrate silence.
Occasionally, this uninterrupted silence and the stillness of a painting can be very striking.
Corridoors through time
The paiting, absolutely still, soundless becomes a corridoor, connecting the moment it represents, with the moment at which you’re looking at it. Something travels through that corridoor at a speed greater than light - throws in thw question of the way of measuring time itself
Unfolding of time
In a film sequence, the details are selected and re-arranged into a narrative, which depends on unfolding time. In paitings, there is no unfolding time as all elements are present simultaneously.
Accessibility of meaning
While reproductions make paitings accessible, the text (usually by experts) begins to make them inaccessible to our own interpretations. Kids interpret images directly as they are.
Reproduction as a languge beyond images
Using the means of reproduction as though they offered a language, as though pictures were like words rather than holy relics
A need for dialogue
He finishes off saying the images may be like words, but there is no dialogue yet - limiting the possibility of active interperation - he calls out the need for
‘access to tv to be extended beyond its present narrow limits’ for this to be born (1972) and invites the watcher to stay skeptical of the arranged programme he just presented.
It All Begins with the Soul’s Desires.Feeling any form of lack, stagnation, confusion, anxiety/fear/illness in our lives is a sign of mis-alignment with our soul’s directives.The soul is clear, strong, & sure of its own fulfillment. It already knows the Destined path. And when we know how to listen to its instruction, we can FLOW with the divine manifestations that are meant for us.This feels completely energetically different from how most people approach their “spiritual” practice these days— it has nothing to do with the ego’s wants & immediate satisfactions. It has nothing to do with manipulating energy or calling in *what we think we need* in order to live an abundant life. There are no shortcuts in this work.Many people are trying to “manifest” without clearing habitual patterns within the mind/body of generational trauma and society’s ideas around success, beauty, family life, health… it leads to a collective karmic looping where nothing truly changes, because most are still leading with their ego. They’re still leading from fear.It takes real integrity to be on this path.It takes connecting to your UNIQUENESS to see it through.Constant vigilance of the ego/inner opponent, who always wants the fast route of superficial feel-good energy.But the voice of the soul… the desire of the soul… is sweet, patient, & waiting for us to recognize our authentic power— which is our LOVE, our brilliant light of clarity.Wanting more out of life is natural. But having the right spiritual system to work on sustainable change… that is a rare thing.💭 I’ll be going over 1:1 CLARITY COACHING applications over the next few days…🔗 LINK IN BIO for those of you who are ready to step into your soul’s brilliance, & live a life of true harmony.From the sacred heart,E.
