Exercises in Translation


This Virtual Book is an intervention into Henri Lefebvre’s philosophy of space. The work identifies spatial terminology in the footnotes from ‘The Production of Space’. The work goes on to develop the theme of borders and asks when does the shift occur between inside and outside and what happens to the things that do not quite fit. The book mixes concrete environments and abstract space and links images that are actual and virtual via the World Wide Web. In this virtual book each page is a marker of a moment in time in an ongoing production and creation. Each newly generated page is created in real time every time the Virtual Book is visited. Each visit is a moment that both materializes and dematerializes with each connection.
