This was the best reading so far, it inspired many ideas and my desired approach to the group Korsakow assignment. I am now thinking that rather than create some kind of story or some kind of meaning, I want to create a poetic experience. The aim is “evocation and experiential knowing” not a hard and firm meaning, which is what my rational mind fought for when it came to the abstract and ambiguous Korsakow medium.
This reading finally made me understand how it isn’t about information or story; it’s about the experience. In my discussion of the last reading here I argued that even linear films are experiential, but now I realize that it is in an entirely different way. It is aesthetically experiential and guided by plot, information and meaning. Korsakow films are entirely about the feelings that they evoke, the emotional experience. A logical and informative interpretation is not necessary and in most instances not even desired.
