Equally, a bright screen in a darkened corner is a visual distraction, while a frame on the wall, along with other frames, is another image. Somehow I am reminded of this play for which I did the lighting in high school. The play revolved around an older woman and the contention of her children that she was no longer competent. One of the pieces of "evidence" of this was reference to a wall of paintings hung such that none of the paintings was in line with one another. The wall was referenced multiple times with the contention that its supposedly higgldy-piggldy arrangement indicated unbalance. Then, late in the play someone who is pointing out that the old woman is merely individual, not nuts, points to the wall and declares that the pictures are not randomly placed, but in fact are artistically balanced in a much more complex way than merely lining everything up (which wouldn't have been very artistic). As you can imagine, we sweated over the arrangement of pictures on that wall so the audience would see them as unordered until that moment.
