RM: Yeah. Let me see. I was talking about the idea in art history of the picture plane as a window.
RM: Right.
RM: And I think the thing I was saying was that a window is always, also, a mirror.
RM: Always?
RM: Usually. When you look through a window, you often see yourself, your silhouette. I’ve always been interested in the world seen through windows especially the world seen in passing, when you’re driving by, or when you’re seeing it from a train.
RM: Or a plane.
RM: Of course.
RM: There’s something sort of primal about it.
RM: Yeah. Being in a car, when you’re a kid, on the way to the mall, or on a road trip maybe, your face pressed up against the glass. Everything seems available. In a way it is and in a way it isn’t. In a moment you’ll have driven past. And anyway, you’re on the inside, and there’s that pane of glass between you and everything out there.
RM: And there’s your silhouette.
RM: And I suppose for me that’s a metaphor.
RM: For?
RM: The way self-consciousness interferes with your perception of the world. The way you get in your own way.
