    me would have been the same. I was hollow, and no amount of someone else's blood would fill me. And so I stood, staring, letting that numbness overtake my essence. I found it easier to feel nothing than to feel at all, and accepted that emotionless void without question. I felt my body recoil from my attack, pressing my weight onto my hind legs. My body felt it, but my mind did not. I let my head fall lower, tucking it away from Sparky. Hide, hide, hide, become nothing.

    about Voids Introduction: Berlin as Void In an official advertisement campaign of 1996, there was a slogan written all over the city: "Berlin wird" (Berlin becomes). But "Berlin becomes what"? Instead of a proper predicate, we get a verbal void. In the worst scenario, as Karl Scheffler wrote at the end of his classic 1910 portrait of the city, Berlin may "forever to become and never to be." The twentieth-century urban history of Berlin was largely associated with the concept of voids. The

    universe, nor our stars or even our planet. It became lonely and sought to end its existence and die, so it tore itself in two, and so it was that there was no longer nothing, but something. The Void and the Light had taken its place, the two opposites, the only things there was for an eternity. The Light and the Void mixed freely, they enjoyed the experience of each other, they loved each other, they consumed each other. So they grew, and continued their intermingling for eons and eternities until such

    Sacrifice for the World Before the Earth was created, there were only five spirits roaming the emptiness of the Void. Human was the most peaceful spirit, for he was the only one who made any actual attempts to make peace among the others, Wind, Water, Fire, and Dirt (who all contributed to the emptiness ). Each day all the spirits, besides Human, would fight over dominance of creating their own separate world. It would have been a lot simpler if each spirit could just make their own world and

    Abstract Space: The Void in Vertigo’s Paintings There can be no discussion of Hitchcock’s distinctive filmic language and meticulous mise-en-scene without a discussion of his paintings. It is through the image of Vertigo’s Carlotta Valdes that Hitchcock identifies, projects, and explores our deepest anxieties about scopophilia, voyeurism, exploitation, and reality, and in the process, exposes the dark aspects of our characters that are often repressed. That concept of multiple identities is the

    Stanley Kubrick once said: “A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and emotions.” And what could be better than sound to alter people’s emotions and feelings? In “Void”, sound played such a significant role in the storytelling that you could understand the whole movie just by the sound of it. The importance of sound in enhancing our understanding of the story and its emotional impact on the audience is emphasized especially in the fourth
