Revolution of the Eyes

Images; too many, too fast, and too loud that scatter our gaze, torpedo perception, and set the brain aflame. Revolution of the Eys prescribes so-called “LOOK-PAUSES” to counteract the “overdosis of digital shitpictures”: concentration of the gaze by means of images reduced to the basics, images that are celebrated in their style and duration. Friederike Pezold’s film is a radi-cal meditation on the “smashing of old images” (Frieda Grafe) through the evolution of film. (Michelle Koch, Diagonale 22)

Revolutionary as never before in the world, the eyes fight for a new worldview against the prevailing abuses! They change the world through a new way of seeing the world: the body in it. Against the ruling way of seeing it, they fight to give the gaze more time, more space, more silence: because these values are threatened with extinction. And they fight to save the mysterious in the image of face and body in the new surveillance society with selfie mania, because it is so much more exciting for the eyes. Look Pauses. (F.P.)
