La representación del límite en El cielo sobre Berlín de Wim Wenders

El artículo analiza cómo relata Wim Wenders la ciudad dividida en su película El cielo sobre Berlín (1987), estudiando qué mirada ejerce sobre el límite que construye la coexistencia forzada de dos ciudades, cómo nos traslada la realidad de una ciudad dividida por una frontera física e ideológica, qué localizaciones de la ciudad selecciona, qué actores escoge como vehículo para narrar su historia, y qué relaciones mantienen los mismos con el espacio urbano

Diccionario analógico. Cine y arquitectura.

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. El cine ha permitido establecer una mirada diferente sobre el territorio artificialmente construido en el que los hombres habitamos, una mirada subjetiva, intencionada y distante. El diccionario aborda la posibilidad de diseccionar intencionadamente el trabajo del arquitecto y del cineasta mediante un posible conjunto de términos comunes.

Read it and pass it on (Josep Quetglas, 1995)

I don't know if I'll know how to explain it well. More than a reason is an instinct. It is an impulse, which makes you want to learn, to know with anger. I think that without this point of irritation, of intransigence, of hate, there is no learning.

Writing (Marguerite Duras, 1993)

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. To write is to try to know what one would write if one wrote - one knows it only after - before, it is the most dangerous question that one can ask oneself. But it's the most common too. The writing happens like the wind, it's naked, it's ink, it's written and it goes like nothing else in life, nothing more, except it, the life.
