Kino-i

A cinematic self-portrait in two parts. In the first half, a half-silvered mirror was placed between the filmmaker and the camera. In the second, the mirror was removed. “Know that the complete secret of prophecy for the prophet is that he suddenly sees the form of his self standing before him, and his self forgets and becomes transported from him, and he sees the form of himself before him speaking with him and proclaiming the future.” – Rabbi Nathan, as related by Moses ben Jacob of Kiev in the Shushan Sodot, 1509.
