TIME LAYERS OF SPACE: RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTENTIAL SPACES OF MEMORY

Abstract

This paper deals with the exploration of personal living spaces from which small, unique worlds are created which identities are built by current and very different states of consciousness. The goal of this work is to set, by shifting yourself from one world to the other, timelines for each of these worlds, their spacial borders, as well as the ruling atmospheres in them. Even though they are separate and contradictory, the worlds build a bond between each other which, metaphysically speaking, takes on the role of a bridge. The connection, or a bridge, appears in moments of an unbearable desire for drastic movement from the current state of mind, from which a momentary spacial displacement arises. Much like the bridges connect three different worlds, the state of mind and space also have an unbreakable bond - they depend on one another. The paper is based exactly on those bridges and their beginning and ending points. The outcome of the thesis are three (re)constructed personal worlds with an alternative coexistence, with all of their different and opposite identities. These are the spaces of protected intimacy, little topophilias, spacial routines, daydream­ing, spaces of endless pathways - in communication and battle with one another at the same time.
