How it feels
This is a silent color film that takes footage from Stan Brakhage's earlier film Dog Star Man and presents each layer of its images on its own. The result is a longer, more drawn-out experience of the original material.

What happens
The Art of Vision is an experimental film directed by Stan Brakhage. This colour silent films reuses footage from Brakhage's Dog Star Man but edited it into a much longer film. A presentation for retrospective screening of the film explains this difference of treatment of the same material: "The rarely screened magnum opus by Stan Brakhage, an expanded version of his "cosmological epic" Dog Star Man. That film was made with multilayered superimpositions; in The Art of Vision, each layer is shown separately." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
