| Summary: | This study will argue that visual art and the making of images share much
With other languages. If writing can be deoonstructed, visual Imagery can
be deconfigured, for figuring an image is much like structuring a sentence.
The process of deconfiguration however relies on repetition.
DeconflguratiOn therefore denies any claim of a primary creator. It will be
argued though that deconfiguratlon remains creative as it engages the
imagination in a process of transference and through association.
Moreover, deconfiguration shows how binary opposites are essential In the
making of artworks. The repetitive process takes place when the artwork
Is made and continues during the appreciation and/or interpretation of the
artwork. For the interpretation to really deconfigure, it would mean that
the image constituted by the artist has metaphorical, allegorical and even
symbolical implications. The interpreter will thus always remain a
partidpant in the creative process suggested by the artwork. === Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology === M.A. (Visual Arts) |
