Nathalie Koger, 2010
It is doubtful who is watching whom aloft on the gabled roof, and also who is standing in the airy height, or who is in readiness for the action: whether it is the audience, the camerawoman or the superhero himself. It is a moment of suspense before obeying the signal. The tremendous thing is all behind it.
