the intentioned framing

Pensamiento, art, photography, cinema, architecture

El cine y la arquitectura comparten una historia de encuentros. El séptimo arte ha necesitado de la arquitectura, del marco construido, como telón de fondo de las acciones desarrolladas en la pantalla.

Writing (Marguerite Duras, 1993)

Pensamiento

If we knew something about what we were going to write, before we did it, before writing, we would never write. It would not be worth it.
