An art of space and of suspension of the eye: the cinema
Vauday, Patrick
An art of space and of suspension of the eye: the cinema - 2018.

If reading is an activity that unfolds over time, cinema is first and foremost an art of space that plays with the size of the “window” it opens on the world, multiplying points of view, giving shape to imaginary geographies… A window that captures the world as it is, but also transforms it through fiction, or even constitutes it in a specular way. What is cinema? A frame, a lens, that produce an image – and in doing so, a questioning about the very possibility of a world, or rather about the belief in the existence of any world… (from the Lumière brothers to Jean-Luc Godard)? Cinema, therefore, is a way of fabricating the gaze perhaps of educating it, on condition that it leads the person to reach outside of him or herself.
