Ways of Seeing/Coming to Terms

The idea in "Ways of Seeing" that there is a duality of every perspective is interesting to think about in terms of the movie, "Roshamon" because with the camera, the actor does not have the opportunity to view the audience. In other words, an actor only performs for a camera, but we think that actor is performing for us. The actor and the viewer have a different perspective on the same reality, much like placing a reproduction outside a museum changes the meaning of the painting. A picture because something entirely different outside of its intended realm. Therefore, the value of a work of art may differ greatly depending on the viewer, or the location of that piece of art.
