Consensual Twilight
The previous post (on "Come Swim") suggests a Sunset Boulevard review —
From a search in this journal for "consensual" —
"Yet if this Denkraum , this 'twilight region,' is where the artist and
emblem-maker invent, then, as Gombrich well knew, Warburg also
constantly regrets the 'loss' of this 'thought-space,' which he also
dubs the Zwischenraum and Wunschraum ."

For Witch Wannabes
Part I — From a TV series released in the UK on Sept. 14, 2018 —
Pages scattered by the wind magically reassemble
at an Oxford witch’s command:
Part II — Images on a book cover from a Log24 search for “Dominus” —
Part III — From Log24 on the “Witches” release date —
In this Cornell page, Gombrich discusses images symbolizing sin.
What sort of sin is symbolized by the above time-reversal scene
in “Discovery of Witches” and by such scenes in the new film “Tenet,”
the reader may decide.

The title is from Warburg. The Zwischenraum lines and shaded "cuts"

set-theoretic symmetric difference operator.

In this field, "1 + 1 = 0," as noted here Wednesday.
