“All that is, is light.”
Philosopher Johannes Scotus Erigena wrote those words in the 9th century, and today a very similar quote has been attributed to Boulder’s experimental filmmaker, the late Stan Brakhage. Brakhage’s 80-minute film, THE TEXT OF LIGHT (1974), ruminates on the relationship between human sense and experience. As though insisting that screen life is just as real as waking life, Brakhage’s work often questions how we should think about film.
This blog is devoted to film, light, and our unending search for the “real” amid shadows.
