We Are The Creature Of Senses.

   Last few days, I've been obsessing with Avant-Garde films from 30s and 40s.
One of my favorite film maker is Maya Deren. Everything that she did in her films and other project she had is there the condensation, the intensity and the perfection of as a film like a poem, it reaches detail after details. Everything is set, exhausted, the point made and simple perfect!


Her films involved quite a lot of dream theory, her love of mirror,surrealism and anthropology.





We are the creature of senses. Indeed the sense of becomingness.
The time quality of women, women had strength to wait.
Time had build in her body in the sense of becomingness, and she see everything in the stage of becoming.

When an image always becoming another. That is, it is what is happening, this is important in Deren's film and in real life. This is a women's time sense.
