In the reading 'Camera Lucidia' the idea of 'Punctum' really stood out for me. To be able to find something or to be aware of something puncturing your feelings just because of its existence is something that I realized I have always vaguely felt but the importance of recognizing it came to me only after our discussions on the reading.
Against Interpretations essence of not looking at what something could mean but 'feeling' the art seems like something the world really needs to be reminded of, also something I needed to be reminded about. I tried doing so when it came to dealing with memories and representing them to people. I wanted them to 'feel' what it was like to need to belong to a group, to 'feel' the million journeys they have made. It reminds me of a little bubble that extends out to people who look at a piece of work ad get enveloped by it, feel it hugging them as they observe it and before they try explaining it and understanding it for themselves.
