Interiors

This collection brings together intriguing voices from literature, art, and philosophy to explore the concept of interiors, both physical and psychological. Each contribution delves into the nuanced relationship between space and identity, offering unique perspectives that spark reflection on how environments shape human experience.

Gaston Bachelard's profound musings on the poetics of space invite readers to consider the emotional resonance of their surroundings. Meanwhile, Virginia Woolf's insights weave a narrative that connects the domestic with the poetic, grounding the ethereal in everyday life. The works of Gregg Bordowitz and Georges Perec delve into the spaces we inhabit, unearthing the stories that are often hidden within the mundane.

Bringing visual art into the discourse, Anni Albers and Roni Horn challenge perceptions of space through their practices, while Doug Ashford and Louise Lawler question the boundaries and intersections between art and life. Each piece enriches the dialogue around interiors, prompting an exploration of both personal and collective memories that dwell within these spaces.

As the essays blend together, they create a tapestry of thought that encourages readers to reflect on what home means to them and how it shapes their understanding of the world. The collection serves not just as a scholarly investigation, but as an invitation to contemplate the layers of existence that are held within the interiors we occupy.
