May be this will be my last film…Don’t know why, I can feel it. I feel alone. I feel that no one accepts what I do, that everyone around is just mocking on works, that everything that I do is not comprehensible, or ugly. Shit…Get out of here…The doubt.
Do You think that I’m listening to You? Haha!

This is the last LAW of happiness as well.
Gestalt part 2
In other words - what You see is not what I want to say. My message is not visible. It is between the picture, it is in the black hole between the picture.
Imagine a scene. A man is driving his Ford car in forest, and listens to his radio. The radio plays Dvorak, and the driver is talking to his girlfriend next to him, explaining his love and the morning breakfast, they had.
It is not what the driver says in words. What is important is that it plays Dvorak 9th symphony, intense and loving, that there is a lighting between the trees, which falls into his face, and shows, that his love to her is not what ha says it is. And the window of her side is broken, and cannot open properly. She tries. And what is obvious is that there is not enough air in the old car. And they want to go out, and be free.
Don’t trust the obvious. Find the hidden. This is Gestalt.
Gestalt psychology and the art
Gestalt, or gestaltism began in Germany, when his author Max Wertheimer, traveling by train on vacation, was seized by an idea when he saw flashing lights at a railroad crossing that resembled lights encircling a theater marquee. He got off the train in Frankfurt am Main, where he bought a motion picture toy called a “zoetrope.” When a strip of pictures is placed inside and viewed through the slits in a zoetrope, a succession of stationary pictures appear to be a single, moving picture. In his hotel room, Wertheimer made his own picture strips, consisting not of identifiable objects, but of simple abstract lines, ranging from vertical to horizontal. By varying these elements, he was able to investigate the conditions that contribute to the illusion of motion pictures, an effect that is technically known as “apparent movement”.
Gestalt principles, which all my films are made of, is simply not to show the “obvious”, but to make hidden picture. So the spectator can make his Analise himself, and see the “picture” using his proper “cognitive” decoding.
Some people say my films are not comprehensible. I guess so, as I deal with codes, and clues, and quotations, and there are may be 5 % of the people who have the identical knowledge as me.
Gestalt is a theory of mind and brain positing that the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies, or that the whole is different from the sum of its parts. The Gestalt effect refers to the form-forming capability of our senses, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves.
