“…The main and essential thing is: The sensory exploration of the world through film. We therefore take as the point of departure the use of the camera as a kino-eye, more perfect than the human eye, for the exploration of the chaos of visual phenomena that fills space.”
“We cannot improve the making of our eyes, but we can endlessly perfect the camera.”
“I make the viewer see in the manner best suited to my presentation of this or that visual phenomenon. The eye submits to the will of the camera and is directed by it to those successive points of the action that, most succinctly and vividly, bring the film phrase to the height or depth of resolution.”
“I am kino-eye. I am a builder. I have placed you, whom I have created today, in an extraordinary room which did not exist until just now when I also created it.”
