Impressions and reflections
Our reflections are divided into two methodological approaches to analysis. To this end, we offer a set of initial considerations that can help you understand them.
Rooms that see
After collecting the visual information captured in the central axis of the photographs taken through the space of six rooms, we tried to identify a set of main elements that would participate in this ‘view’ that the rooms (and their users) have.
The order in which the rooms are displayed does not follow the chronological order in which the photographs were taken (01, 02, 03,...) but instead follows the directions of the visual range of the building as a whole - from the point with the greatest exposure to the Borås forest to the north-east, to the point where it meets the access road and the main hospital building to the west, in a clockwise direction.
We were interested in understanding the visual presence of elements from the outside world in the room, specifically by measuring the percentage of each of these elements. This measurement of mm2 refers to the area of the wall (3900 mm x 3000 mm) that is exposed to the element in question (e.g. Borås forest) through the camera obscura phenomenon.
The photographs obtained, as expected, revealed distorted visual information on the remaining surfaces of the room. More susceptible to chance, this information appeared to have obvious qualities of abstraction, which in turn were open to human interpretative subjectivity.
the dialogue between matter and psyche
The second part of our analysis will be characterised precisely by its absence, at least in a direct way, since it is deliberately affirmed only by our selection of a set of captured moments, accompanied by their caption. With this we propose a stage for questioning the expressive meaning of artistic objects, appealing to the intuitive sensitivity of those who are subjected to them, regardless of whether the observer has been exposed to some of the conceptual notions set out in chapters before, or not.
