Our strattegies of survival are the basis of visual drama. Our
survival is the purpose of experience. Perceiving and feeling
we shape the life supporting thoughts of our actions. Our
inner and outer energies and moods are the framework of
visual dramaturgy.
The alternatves are clear: Visual communication or violation
of the eye. Space and time control our action. Our economy
has its ground in an economy of love. The purpose of
power struggle is, first of all, the domination of others.
In this struggle the entertain-ment industry are weapons
of mass destruction: Human being facing each other in a
battle-field.
The media and city centers are the meeting place. Keyword:
Communion. Where people meet visual theater is found.
Every place of assembly is a stage/artwork. We meet and
part in the visual dialogue of the Theater/Artwork of Love.
We create and seize intensities. A play of simultaneous and
synchronous action where we give and take – space and
time. Economy of love. All energy – positive or negative
– signals of life or death – converted into intensities. The
factors being interchangeable. Power over self or others
take place by control of space, speed, momentum and
connections of streams of intensity.

Visual drama /tonal-image painting originates in, and returns
to, the scenography/picture of the human face and the
performance of the eyes. Body, colour, shade and line are
the amplifiers of the eye: Colour and Curviline Art – Tonal-
image painting.
The communications of the eye are all embracing. To our
experience, knowledge action, handling of emotion is given
image-rhythms. Witthout eye culture, without power to
express self or fathom the expressions of others, without
a language of tonal-images capable of communicating the
inner visions of another human being we would be isolated
and impoverished. Behinde it all: Nothingness, emptiness,
all-absorbing darkness.

The dramatrgy of the eye is a strategy of survival. TRENDS
