? / Figur-Grund Prinzip
Explanation:
Ich habe "frameline magnetism" auf Deutsch nicht gefunden. Vielleicht heisst es Bildmagnetismus?

Hier ist eine Definition von "frameline magnetism" (leider auf Englisch):

The edge of a picture is called the frameline, and what is outside it is often as important as what is inside.

When part of an image falls "outside the frame," the viewer’s imagination is magnetically drawn to the part that was left out. This phenomenon is called Frameline Magnetism, and it’s a powerful tool long used by great photographers, videographers, cinematographers, illustrators and writers.
