I – An Encounter
"Je est un autre" ("I is another") Artur Rimbaud
This space is a designated site for Encounter. The work investigates the body as the link between the mind and the world. Space, sound and image are utilised to create an encounter that externalises the internal cognitive understanding of the significance of Other in the singularity of the I.
It attempts to dispense with language and simplify the critical and psychological theories present in the written work of the thesis to create a visual, haptic experience.
This experience is enriched and altered by the presence of the viewer who brings his or her own experience to the understanding of this space. Although clearly a gendered body- like space, it does not seek to preclude the male viewer, but to highlight the reciprocal nature of the sexes and the binary thinking that both separates and creates the other, for he is only possible in presence of she.
