"There is one solution. We have to emerge from the customary circle of ordinary human vision; we have to learn to capture things with the camera outside of this circle. Then the usual monotomy will immediately disappear, as we shall see our real life, not one made up out of props, but we shall see in a way in which we have not yet been able to...The kino- and ohto-eye must create for themselves their own point of filming, not imitating but broadening the usual circle of vision of the human eye."

Dizga Vertov is a genius.
He has summarized artistic revolution with this statement, with his Kino-Eye.
Everything is rather self-explanatory in this statement. I celebrate it. There is no need for elaboration.
