Metaphor and Site - Rear Window analysis

When looking at Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and Richard Serra's "Sequence" I began to look at common threads between the two. Both seemed to have a theme of a "Threshold between reality and illusion". Serra's piece dissorients you when walking through the curvilinear walls and gives the illusion of endlessness. In Rear Window you are trying to figure out, along with the main character Jeffries, what he is immagining and what is reality and actually happened. He cannot see what happens beyond his frame of vision and speculates what happens in those moments when the characters he's watching slip beyond his frame of vision. The closer he got to the characters through his telophoto lens, the more he could see of the truth.

The site I chose is the roof of my apartment. I live on the 3rd floor of a brownstone on the corner of a block and there is a rooftop outside my back windows from the extension of the bottom two floors.
