MEANING OF THE TITLE:
 Most probably an allusion to
the painting by Andrew Wyeth Christine's World.
Exene (Christine) Cervenka
-- singer and poet, mostly known as a leader of punk band X.
Married to Viggo from 1987 to 1997, mother of Henry.

SPECIAL (D)EFFECTS:
Blurs
FACTS & TIDBITS:
The woman in the photo is Exene
and the dog is Brigit.
The photo was taken outside of Viggo's former house.
The compsition reminds of a painting
by Andrew Wyeth titled Christina's World (thanks to FOP
for pointing out this direction!) Considering that Exene's real
name is actually Christine, the comparison surely makes sense.
Another coincidence is that the real existing Olson house
seen in the painting and other Wyehth's paintings was an ispiration
for cinematography in the movie Reflecting Skin.
There is also a song by the Dutch pop band Nits that
probably by pure accident seems to fit Exene (not that I know
much about her)
