Zkřivený prostor

Warped psychological space caused by agoraphobia and claustrophobia in the late 19th century became incorporated into architecture, urbanism, and film. Neuroses and phobias turned into one of the most important sources for art in the 20th century. English historian and architectural theorist Anthony Vidler (1941–2023) traces the emergence of a psychological idea of space from Pascal and Freud to twentieth-century theories of spatial estrangement in Georg Simmel, Siegfried Kracauer, and Walter Benjamin. Using examples of contemporary artists, Vidler shows how spatial warping can be represented in architecture thanks to digital technology.
