0 It's not exactly the same because of the context. 01 i 00 in the foreground 02 i 00 and 01 i 00 in the background 02 i 00 are specific to descriptions of the placement of elements in a photo, a painting, a stage setting, or a landscape. Except for a natural landscape these are all posed or purposefully arranged sights, so the reference is somewhat to the art of placing such elements in an artful way, near the intended viewer or distant from him.
