Jesús Olmo, video autist.

What I like most is just open my eyes and seeing everything. The more I see, the more I realize that everything is One Thing... and that here there is nobody seeing at all.

'Maybe the things I perceive, the animals, plants, men, hills, shining and flowing waters, the skies of day and night, colors, densities, forms, maybe these are (as doubtless they are) only apparitions, and the real something has yet to be known'.
Walt Whitman, 'Leaves of Grass' (1891)

'If we do relinquish control, we suddenly see a hidden world, one that has existed all along right in front of us. In a flash, the uncanny presence of this poetic and vibrant world, ripe with mistery, stands before us. Everything is expressing itself as what it is. Everything is alive and talking to us'.
Nathaniel Dorsky, 'Devotional Cinema'.

'A poet is the most unpoetical of anything in existence, because he has no identity – he is continually informing and filling some other body. The sun, the moon, the sea and men and women who are creatures of impulse are poetical and have about them an unchangeable attribute—the poet has none, no identity'.
John Keats

'Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality'.
T. S. Eliot

'Standing on the bare ground, — my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, — all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all'.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
