Bibliography Overview: 'Brunelleschi, Lacan, Le Corbusier. Architecture, space and the construction of subjectivity'

I am in Moscow at the moment and had a chance to rethink my results being in different surroundings. At some point I realised that books I read have a great impact on my practice. Consciously or unaware of that, I examine thoughts that I get while reading or reflect on that what I read by means of drawing or sculptural experimentation. At this point I think that it would be important to create a reading list for future theoretical investigation, which I intend to write about later.

One the books I am still trying to gain a better understanding of is 'Brunelleschi, Lacan, Le Corbusier. Architecture, space and the construction of subjectivity' by Lorens Holm. I am reading part 5 at the moment, which is named 'The origins of Perspective' and very much interested in his debate about Brunelleschi's demonstration. The author points out the fundamentals of the experiment from the architectural position; he questions the essence of viewing and therefore the approaches to the occupation of space (or its image in the dialectics of possible 'reality' of the latter) as well as the 'outside' of it and the subjectivity of this perception.

While reading, I am concerned with the challenge of creating a device for the perception of the image of the space and therefore the boarders of mediation between 'viewing' and occupation and the presence of the latter at all as a result of this engagement. I wish to experiment with the argument whether 'seeing' an image could actually represent space occupation and whether what I am creating is the space, which takes a manifestation of a view.

Sketches for Further Investigations

More than half a year passed since my final show, and all this time I was wondering how I could continue my research. I started getting new ideas just before New Year while reading some new books and rethinking my results.

I worked out sketches in January and they made me think about creating a series of sketchmodels which would let me explore how this devices could move on. Here they introduce an opportunity of working with a plane instead of curves.

Another one introduces the possibility of experiments with filming the light patterns on the plane, which forms the inside of the curve in order to project the created video onto the flat surface. This could be done at the same time with the flat surfaces as well, shifting the videos for the inside and the outside.

Furthermore, I also rethought the opportunity of investigating the role of both eyes in perception and ways of filming and projecting from two sides. I think it would be interesting to 'play' with video, projection and a number of surfaces in order to explore the mechanisms further.
