Experimental Vision : Research Collage #1

Body, Personal Relations, and Spatial Values.
Composition, Concept, Object.

Space is an abstract term for a complex set of ideas.

The photogram is the immediate result of a constellation of light, three-dimensional object and photosensitive material.

FROM BEYOND VISION
Photograms
Flouris M. Neusus

Work in the light laboratory was a standard part of the curriculum.

The photogram became a functional element of a personal time curve, allowing the artist to continually endeavour to see or put phenomena into new relations.

I Am Not This Body
Barbara Ess

Reality requires a perceiver who has memories, thoughts, desires, emotions and beliefs that intersect with the phenomenal world.

The archaic immediacy of the pin-hole camera,
The Truth and The Grotesque, ambiguous perceptual boundaries between people, between the self and not self, between in here and out there.

Life Is Subjective
Reality includes a perceiver through whom experience is filtered.

The Physical reality of the world is recognised as/by its shadow within the mind, its negative then inverted entities that both exist simultaneously and emanate from the same phenomenological origin.

Floris Neususs
The size of Photograms is one of the sources of their particular power : they always portray subjects to scale, unlike photography, in which the size of the image is arbitrary, and most usually depends on the size of the print, rather than the object that has been photographed.

Whole body photograms can  communicate intimacy, but in another sense  they can create detachment.
