核心畫面

Something you look at and cannot find the edge of. You search for the place where it stops — the last item, the final minute — and it isn't there. Whether it stretches out in quantity or in time, the picture is the same line running on past where you can see.

可以想成你在找一樣東西的盡頭,卻怎麼看都看不到邊。你想數到最後一個、等到最後一分鐘,那個「最後」始終沒有出現。不管延更多收起可以想成你在找一樣東西的盡頭,卻怎麼看都看不到邊。你想數到最後一個、等到最後一分鐘,那個「最後」始終沒有出現。不管延伸出去的是數量還是時間,畫面都一樣:那條線一直往前跑,沒有收尾的地方。
