Revolution der Augen (2023)
Pezold is quite serious when she calls for a revolution of the eyes. In our depressingly digital day-in day-out, we have unlearned how to see; we merely register a restless flow of data. But looking, watching means something else: it means appreciating what's in front of us, taking the time to let a presence unfold its meaning(s). Quietness helps. And so, with Revolution der Augen, we are invited to return to the origins of cinema and its initial promises, with the experience and knowledge gained through all kinds of media over some six score years. It's tabula rasa time!
