John Berger
Ways of Seeing – Quotes
In this video Berger talks about many fascinating facts about the human eye, how we see and how cameras have changed all that. He brings to the table some very interesting ideas, things that seem so obvious, but not until they are said. These are some quotes from this piece of video that I felt had a lot of meaning:-
“The eye can only be in one place at once time, it takes its visible world with it”
“With the invention of the camera everything changed, we could see things that weren’t there in front of us.”
“The camera has changed the way paintings can be seen even before it was invented. The painting can only be in one place at one time like the human eye, but the camera makes it possible to see where ever and when ever you like”
