while watching Rope, i began with the association of metaphore found through out the film that poked humorously to the thought of death. and the color red which was the single color hitchcock decided to emphasize in his first color film. other than this my mind began to wonder (too) widely, beginning to look at architectural precedents such as archigram + andrea zittel who play with the notions of mobile enviroments, which go along the same lines as Rope's technologically advance set, necessary for camera movement throughout the entire set because of the desire to limit the amount of editing in the film. etc. I apologize for not producing what the assignment asked for and will limit my thought into a more indepth analysis of the film itself for next week. along with a interpretation of a art installation. i had posted earlier that i would be investigating smithson, however i believe that piece might have been exhausted last wk + i will be looking into another of relevance to my chosen film, that be smithson or serra.
