Michael Lent asks what role art has in colonisation and subsequent
dissolution. He proposes a practice informed by the fatal
strategies and 'raw' phenomenology of Jean Baudrillard as a
challenge to a system of disappearance. Focusing on the otherness
of space to prevent its ultimate dissolution, Lent promotes a
spatial practice of radical alterity. Examining ideas of
disappearance put forth by Baudrillard and Paul Virilio, he
utilises art as a means for investigating loss of potentiality and
experience through the representation of space, shifting their
ideas - originally ascribed to objects - into a new emphasis. This
book ultimately attempts to break a cyclical system that causes
everything to disappear into representation and equivalency.
