The following is a list of all entries from the Sketch category.

the barrier

The body is a contested site. Any attempt to develop meaning takes one in a multitude of direction. The positioning of the subject presents the first problem. Where is the subject located, how can I define what is meant by the body? The use of this sign, the sign of the body as a mere [...]


drilling deeper

How can we place our bodies? Their depth of experience, the dimension of meaning they invoke, what does it mean for a body to be deep? To be present is one aspect, here, there, at a specific point of reference, demarcated in four dimensions. Yet this body, while appearing as a object is something more, [...]
