REAR WINDOW (1954) (The ultimate movie for a summer in Quarantine)

It has been said that this film evokes summer in the city like no other, and it feels particularly apt for one in which many of us have been confined to our homes. Windows in London are currently flung open due to a heat wave, and I’m finding myself much more conscious of my neighbours, of the routines of the street, and of the inherently communal nature of urban life. This emphasises the effect that climate can have on the way we experience and behave in buildings and cities - something which is often overlooked by designers. Another aspect of being confined to an apartment is that the details of the interior, and of the limited space visible from the windows, can seem to expand to comprise your entire universe. Few of us have had as absorbing a world to observe as Jimmy Stewart does here, however, as a photographer holed up in a small Manhattan residence with a broken leg, and nothing to do all day but spy on neighbours with his telephoto lens.  Architecture often played a central role in Hitchcock's films, and several commentators such as art historian Steven Jacobs have written about this at length .He discusses the symbolism of Rear Window’s set design in this essay and in the book The Wrong House: The Architecture of Alfred Hitchcock.  (Poster by Adam Simpson via missedprints)

- “CONCEPTION” - . As the main obstruction to be relinquished, has the basic sense of “constructing” “forming” “manufacturing” or, “inventing.” Thus in terms of mind, they mean “creating in the mind”, forming in the “imagination,” and even “assuming to be real,” “feigning,” and “fiction.” Fundamentally, these terms refer to the continuous constructive yet deluded activity of the mind that never tires of producing all kinds of dualistic appearances and experiences, thus literally building its own world. . A concept is something conceived in the mind: Thought, Idea, Notion. About “conceive”, Webster dictionary says; ‘to take into one’s mind… To form in one’s mind… To evolve mentally… IMAGINE, VISUALISE. This meaning of deluded mental activity is particularly highlighted by the classical Yogãcãra terms “false imagination” and “the imaginary,” the latter being everything that appears as the division into Subject and Object that is produced by false imagination. . In a more general sense, “imagination” and “concept” are equivalent, which is also what Nãgãjuna’s Cittavajrastava (verse 5) means: ’[For] the mind that has given up imagination, Samsãra impregnated by imagination Is nothing but an imagination — The lack of imagination is Liberation.’ . Obviously, this does not mean that samsãra is nothing but conceptual thinking or that mere lack of thinking is nirvana. False imagination is threefold — 1st) consisting of mere appearance, under the sway of latent tendencies, of apprehender and apprahdended being different; 2nd) those that have aspects of coarse states of mind; 3rd) is clinging to reference through following names, false views, conventional reality. . Thus, conceptions about “Apprehender and "Apprehended” in all their coarse and subtle degrees represent the cognitive obstructions to be relinquished throughout the Path of preparation, seeing, and familiarisation of these CONCEPTS. . #Buddha #Buddhism #dharma #wisdom #Knowledge #Enlightenment #awakening #Consciousness #meditation #meditator #namaste #yogalife #Spiritual #peace #illusion #happiness #mental #alchemy #loveandlight #goodvibrations #positvevibes #blogger #sunday #concept #art #health

When Helle Schröder and Martin Janekovic (XTH-Berlin) signed a 199-year lease on some land along the old Berlin Wall, they had a permit to build a row house, but despite the two shared walls, they wanted something that felt airy and light-filled. ( text: Kirsten Dirksen)
