The Intimate Mechanism Of Creation

Take on that approach of the value that takes dominance in a process of discovery, without exhausting the premises of a major investment in what remains eternal.

In his journals, Eisenstein also gives us a key to enter the mechanism of his thinking, the intimacy in which his works are born. We note how varied, how mobile this intimate mechanism of creation is. How many apparent contradictions, different hypotheses he knew not and will know not about ! How many revealing details are lost from a lack of documents. How many others, seemingly harmless, like a walk-through New York or a visit to Sing Sing, can open new windows to this universe we follow.

Eisenstein knows it and writes about it in connection with the methods of a biography of creation: "Anecdotal details, surprises or apparent accidents must not detract from the basic recognized principles of an artistic work. Such natural details of creative biographies give a feeling of life to the described process of creation. There cannot be, certainly not, an abstract schematic, here, in the case of a process of creation pulsing with blood." *

With what guiding agent does the functioning key of your mechanism of thinking revolve in contact with, so that the creation you experience can reach the revelation of a double, never tried feeling?

The functioning key of the mechanism of a sophisticated thinking, ensuring the transformations that take place under the impulse of making an exceptional work, a new introduction in the field of science, revolves in contact with the guiding agent: the feeling of an inner life, at the crossroads between who you were and who you will be.

The key does not open at just any time, but in time, with toil and genius, gaining its significance only within the framework of a triple relationship, whose elements are: the awareness of being part of a larger coverage, the power to go further in an unknown direction, and the ability to use yourself to answer the calling of an artist.

So, we are dealing with the revelation of a double feeling, one never before experienced, one of astonishment and satisfaction, or of pride and wonder, when your work gains the value of a work of art, not a burdensome and repetitive task. A feeling about attaining a sense of identity in the passage of time, a kind of unity, a form of existence of a diversity that results from the consideration of several things as one.

The feeling of life that initiates the creative process can be embodied in a basic principle of artistic work only if it becomes so intense that it is perceived as a gain of the imaginative faculties, as an opportunity to develop the means of expression and skills. of aesthetic communication, as a model of dialogue of the elements of plastic language coherent and well harmonized in an original concept.

The feelings of life that characterize an artist, through whose work he gives his own beats of the heart, are: simplicity, delicacy, the inclination towards humility, compassion, imaginative force. They must not lose their hold on a revealing experience capable of causing personal change, as Stephen King’s novels or Alfred Hitchcock’s films often offer.

A high coverage is given by that approach of the value that takes dominance in a process of discovery, under the influence of a vivid impression of real, the sensation of stepping, as if by a miracle, beyond the screen, without exhausting the premises of a major investment in what remains eternal. And for the reproduction of a subject of research to be successful, the positive image of what you try to suggest must focus on the "retina" of the existence of a deterministic world.

In turn, this world, bound to the intimate mechanism of creation, can be the expression of apparent contradictions, different hypotheses concerning evolution. And what can open new windows towards the mystic unity of this world are anecdotal details, surprises or apparent accidents. These can give a feeling of life to the described process of creation.

The discovery of the artistic path, from the character to the event, must ensure a maximum of human experience (from the collective to the most intimate social aspects), in order to provide an adequacy of the artistic means to the visual specificity of the addressed subject.

The Intimate Mechanism Of Creation represents the interaction between the background effects of discovering a new world and introducing it within the field of science, in contact with the guiding agent: the feeling of an inner life. This feeling is at the basis of artistic work.
