The Exo-postural Gaze: A Way out of Representation and Visual Recollection
The Exo-postural Gaze: A Way out of Representation and Visual Recollection

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to be a speculative and critical reflection on the notion of representation and its dialog with the gaze and the concept of Subject and subjectivity. It suggests that we can operate with the impossibility of visual representation by reconfiguring the language and the Real through cinema. It addresses the mechanism of gaze in relation to memory, self-representation, audience participation, etc. The arguments are built upon samples from Japanese cinema and they focus on the inner construction of image as ‘tangible invisible’. The issue of blindness is addressed as the starting point for rethinking the non-representable.
