Hi everyone
I am interested in how the thoughts we have can affect our visual
experience. The famous example of this is the line drawing of the
duck-rabbit. This *looks different* depending on whether we are thinking of
this as a duck or as a rabbit. A friend of mine mentioned that Eisenstein
somewhere talks about this. His example is that of a film of a man's face.
This can look different dependent on whether it is intercut with pictures of
food, or children, or war, etc. Has anybody come across this? Is this in
one of his films? Where might there be references to this?
Thanks in advance
