Window and Veils

Description

> Looking from outside into an open window one never sees as much as when one looks through a closed window. There is nothing more profound, more mysterious, more pregnant, more insidious, more dazzling than a window lighted by a single candle. What one can see out in the sunlight is always less interesting than what goes on behind a windowpane. In that black or luminous square life lives, life dreams, life suffers. - Charles Baudelaire, 1993 A window is a threshold space, the boundaries of an opening which creates an “in-between” space or place between the interior and exterior world. In art and film the window is often used to discuss domesticity and the gender tension between the interior and exterior of dwellings.
