SPACE. What is it? How do we use it? How many kinds are there? Space to live? Space to breathe? External space? Internal space? Mental space? Physical space? How do these spheres of space affect each other? Just asking a question generates space if we’re considering possible answers.
External Space and Physical Constraint
It’s worth watching this brilliant, short video, Creature Comforts, that illustrates an imagined perspective of animals behind the bars of a zoo in Britain. Creature Comforts is an Aardman series based on the Oscar® winning short film by Nick Park featuring the real and unscripted voices of the British public put in the mouths of animals made of modelling clay. The video is also a perfect example of a type of space not mentioned above: the type of space created by getting out of yourself and imagining an experience through the eyes of another. Here the animals are struggling with a lack of physical space and the shrinking of their own interior and exterior personal space due to the damp and chilly weather.
