One Damn Thing After Another, Or, An Empathic Mirror-Touch

‘One Damn Thing After Another, Or, An Empathic Mirror-Touch’, 2012, Installation, David Roberts Art Foundation, London.

 

Intended as a sculpture as well as an impossible object of thought, the fiction installation implicates both gallery space and reader in a thought experiment regarding the localisation of consciousness. Spanning through two floors of the gallery, the physical navigation and perspective of the reader plays with embodiment as a factor in the co-construction of the narrative.

One Damn Thing After Another, Or, An Empathic Mirror Touch draws equally from a thought experiment by 19-20thC psychologist and philosopher William James regarding the localisation of consciousness, and also from a contemporary neurological condition (arguably not a condition but a dynamic process) which can significantly be understood as a social synesthesia.
