WEEK TEN
A 'phantom', in the sense that neurologists use, is a persistent image or memory of part of the body, usually a limb, for months or years after its loss. (Sacks)
Write
On Thursday (11/3) Jeffrey Hogrefe will join us for one hour. Be prepared to discuss your story during that hour. Fine-tune your script and bring 3 copies to class on Thursday. Follow this format: Print on one Page (8 1/2 x 11 portrait) the 300 words of your story, in the top center (in caps) the title of your story (which is likely to match the name of your house) and at the bottom right the course name and your name; all b/w Arial 12pt.
Pack
In one main section, pack 'Dislocate Sm' with your Bellmer traces. The Poupees generate a Closest Packing structure that reveals a first potential for occupation. Qualify the space, what is its relation to the body, what is its main orientation, what kind activities does it allow for, how many Poupees can be activated. Draw several iterations of the same section as the pack migrates.
Bellmer's Poupees carry the memory of former affiliations (with the body proper) in a way similar to phantom limbs, keeping the image of the body as a whole intact. Use the dislocated limb and their extension in memory to identify possible programs within you assembly.
