The Act of Seeing

The Act of Seeing deals with the wild imaginings of political leaders as we enter the post-information age. Inspired by Brion Gysin’s dream machine, cut-up technique and notions of inward travel, the film uses still frames of the primary colours of digital communication and a rearrangement of the audio version of Tony Blair’s autobiography to create a new narrative that explores the relationships between visual perception, unconscious desire, power, addiction, certainty, and madness.
