"I want to abandon imitation and illusion and enter directly into the higher drama."
"I want to abandon imitation and illusion and enter directly into the higher drama: the two-dimensional strips of celluloid; photograms taken individually; perforation and emulsion; projector operations; the screen itself… in this cinematic drama, the light is energy rather than a tool of representation of non-filmic objects; the light, like energy, is emitted to create objects, shapes and textures.. one can generate virtual shapes, create a real movement (rather than illustrate it), build a real colour space (rather than depict it) and be part of a real time (immediate presence).” - Paul Sharits
