Quotes by Ann Cooper Albright

For me, this is when the act of watching transforms into the act of witnessing.To witness something implies a responsiveness, the response/ability of the viewer toward the performer. It is radically different from what we might call the consuming gaze that says here, you entertain me, I bought a ticket, and Im going to sit back and watch. This traditional gaze doesnt want to get involved, doesnt want to give anything back.
