The Philosophy of Wall

Article

Abstract

[In Russian]

In a culture, which is understood as a complex of prohibitions, the phenomenon of wall as incarnate prohibition is examined. The role of wall is probed in a historical aspect, and the fragment of wall as substrate in fine art. Certain locus of walls as the crossing of rays of direct and reverse prospects, jointly adopted a positive prospect. On the example of graffiti, the concept of negative prospect is introduced. It is noted that integral appearance in a negative prospect disintegrates to pieces. The destruction of image is explained by the influence of wall as an incarnate metaphysical prohibition. The interpreting of the phenomenon of wall is the object of study of apophatic philosophy.
