Les Seigneurs : Notes sur la vision (), 1969
Cinema is the most totalitarian of the arts. All energy and sensation is sucked up into the skull, a cerebral erection, skull bloated with blood.
Caligula wished a single neck for all his subjects that he could behead a kingdom with one blow. Cinema is this transforming agent. The body exists for the sake of the eyes; it becomes a dry stalk to support these two soft insatiable jewels.

It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on whithout any eyes. The spectator cannot exist whithout it. It insures his existence.

Cinema derives not from painting, literature, sculpture, theater, but from ancient popular wizardry. It is a contemporary manifestation of an evolving history of shadows, a delight in pictures that move, a belief in magic. Its lineage is entwined from the earliest beginning with Priests and sorcery, a summoning of phantomas. With, at first, only slight aid ofthe mirror and fire, men called up dark and secret visits from regions in the buried mind. In these seances, shades are spirits which ward off devil.
