Spatial Practice/Spatial Representations

The Body and Space.

Lefebvre : The Production of Space.

A spatial theory/programme that seeks to reconcile the fractured definitions of space as perceived, conceived and lived, through deployment, occupation, immediate relationship.

The body is a medium that allows us to experience space.

A Serious Place

The Garden of Forked Paths

Deviant, troubling and open-ended frames and features.

Boundaries, limits and transgressions.

Beyond privileging her body as subject and ruinous spaces for sites, Woodman made certain methodologies and technical approaches characteristic aspects of her practice in furthering the effects of the body/space encounters.

The precision of mathematics meets up with the unruliness of bodies and selves.

The Contained Nature of Photographic Representation.

We respond to the experience in the photograph, the inner feeling generated by it.

Study For Space²

Hand drawn frames around the blurred presence of a body.

The logic of the photograph and the logic of framing the self.

Contact sheet with annotations/spatial coordinates/lines and forms.

Every surface is sensitive to light, to pressure, to inscription.

Architectural surfaces heighten the relationships between the body and space.

Emotion, Space and Society.

Organism-Person-Environment

The flickering presence of Woodman suggests a less knowable form of subjectivity that remains porous to one's environment, a form of subjectivity produced in relation to to objects and buildings.

Ellipses as aposiopesis signals a certain trailing off, a sentence ending or not ending in the suspension of unresolved thought.

Francesca Woodman, from Angel series Rome, Italy. 1977-78

She ponders the matter of things, the shape of herself that/what remains on the floor's emulsive surface. Skin, flesh, building materials, decay.

Photography sustains her inquiry into forms of subjectivity.

Intimate Viewing and The Play of Boundaries

The surfaces of representation through the articulation of a photographic process/practice.

Framing/Accommodating the Subject :Viewing apparatuses and mechanisms.

Site Apparatus/Camera Obscura : Sarah Kofman

About Camera Obscura:

Marx, Freud, Nietzsche--in vastly different ways all three employed the metaphor of the camera obscura in their work. In this classic book--at last available in an English translation--the distinguished French philosopher Sarah Kofman offers an extended reflection on this metaphor. She contrasts the mechanical function of the camera obscura as a kind of copy machine, rendering a mirror-image of the work, with its use in the writings of master thinkers.
In her opening chapter on Marx, Kofman provides a reading of inversion as necessary to the ideological process. She then explores the metaphor of the camera obscura in Freud’s description of the unconscious. For Nietzsche the camera obscura is a "metaphor for forgetting." Kofman asks here whether the "magical apparatus" of the camera obscura, rather than bringing about clarity, serves some thinkers as fetish. Camera Obscura is a powerful discussion of a metaphor that dominates contemporary theory from philosophy to film.
