24. Zones of Interpretation

Plans taken from the mappings of Kafka’s The Trial (1925) are layered, creating a palimpsestic state where all spaces are experienced simultaneously within ‘a vast network…an ocean of possibilities.” (D. Lynch’s Inland Empire (2007))

‘There’s no going straight here…things change here every minute.’ (Quotes from Tarkovsky’s Stalker (1979))

“И небо раскололось, как свиток, когда оно свернулось”

(“And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up”)
