When you watch a theatre piece from the vantage point of a camera, you have already compromised what I consider its most precious gift (the shared experience). The second greatest gift is the electricity of its high wire act. When you watch a previous recording, you've lost both.
It is no different in the art world. We travel the world to see a painting that is on display rather than looking at an excellent photograph of it. The first time I was in Florence, I went to see Michelangelo's David. I had certainly seen a hundred photographs of it. Nothing prepared me. |
