- Summary:
- This book attempts to explore how people locate themselves vis-a-vis others, objects and things within a time-space continuum. Furthermore, it contextually sheds light on the correlation between space embedded meanings and the sense of place. In this book, the preposition of place takes a closer examination of the relations between objects and things through the lens of meaning reconfiguring moves and interactions in time and space. The relations between entities/objects/things offers bi-directional insights into orientations as is impacted by emotional, perceptional and preferential state of worlding among other attributes that direct people's positioning within contexts. The project Prepositions of Place that emerges as key within this book follows and attends to questions of how people, structures and landscapes spatially affect one another? What relations and meaning emerge and submerge within space-be it natural or artificial? In the process, visual signs, the (re)emergence of infrastructures and contextual speech reshape the building blocks for place making. Through artistic works and lens, the project metaphorically and figuratively express how personal senses from sight, touch and hearing collapse and combine to orient individuals in space and time. The relation of individuals through the space-time continuum also offers external stimuli to contrive and build an immersive spatial experience.
