Abstract
“Album V” is an inquiry on aesthetic experience, particularly the perception of analogy in our encounter with works of art. It takes the form of a visual essay comprised of dozens of images culled from a variety of published sources, and montaged together in the form of an “image bank” or photo album. Supplementing this visual essay, “Notes on “Album V”” is a text that reflects on the questions raised by “Album V”. The text describes analogy as a play of correspondences occurring at two levels: correspondences between the sensible forms of which a given artwork is composed; and correspondences between the artwork as a whole, and the experiential forms of the embodied and situated viewer while encountering the artwork. A precondition of this play of correspondences is the “intimacy” that defines all the relationships that constitute existential being-in-the world.
