Ways of seeing by John Berger (DIATT)

Ways of seeing.

The documentary talks about the European painting, the traditional style. And John talks about everybody can see the same picture and see different things, because each one was one perspective, and the same image can has different point of view. Berger talks that the reproduction of pictures should make easier connect our experience with others experience about the art.

The process of seeing anything or seeing pictures is less spontaneous and natural than we tend to believe. the traditional European paintings has its particular properties, such as perspective and how the light part in them. The perspective makes our eye is the center of the paintings, but some of their are too big, and ours eyes can only be in one place at the time.

The use of the camera let us too see things with another perception, sometimes things that we didn't know were it. The paints (the original ones) can only be in one place, but with the cameras and the reproduction of these they now have copies in various locations with different sizes and scales. And this change the way that we see the things.
