Description

Remember, Repeat, Inhabit looks at three questions in relation to the idea of the viewer: What happens when one reads someone elses reading of someone else What happens when something repeats itself in Kieslowskis work Is there a possibility of an ontology of space The book attempts to understand the idea of viewing from the inside, not simply as an ontological premise but definitely affected by it. Three differing contexts are looked ata French madmans notion of the self, a Polish filmmakers notion of the everyday and an Indian performance artists notion of memory. Through these on-the-surface contrasting artists and texts, a particular idea of a viewer emerges. This viewer is the key to an understanding of something almost elemental in the nature of the idea of viewing in the contemporary context of twenty-first-century Delhi.
