Antigone Between the space of the lens and the screen, the trapezoidal space of projections, projective space; it's here that the body finds haven, that interruptions disturb, that flattening presences discursive spaces: you are the visible omen, content demarcation. This is the space of neural interiority against the scythe of the image from disk to di/splay. The thin edge of the picture splatters from the wall, reassembles at every junction of perception. This is another actant, drama. One reads the splatter as content; it's as if the thetic confined itself to a certain materiality. But it is within the intermediary space, for example the project/projections on the interference of the body, that the imaginary operates. Doesn't modernism itself play on this intermediary? In any case, the video below, ungainly and long, contains the seed of Antigone. http://www.asondheim.org/thevisitors.mp4
