(re)presentation & the space of visual reception

I have arrived at a point of focusing my project on the relationship between visual realisation and perception. Questioning the actualisation and subsequent reception of representation; basically how one views, becomes conscious of and formulates an understanding of what we experience through visual art.

For some clairity I’ve divided my thinking to three categories.

How visuality is

i) realised

ii) (re)presented &

iii) received (by a viewer)

Realisation is my action in actualising the work, (re)presentation is the mediation or presentation of the work while reception is the situation of perceiving itself or how a viewer comes to visually understand a work. This obviously still remains to be very broad, and indeed could be considered the reasoning behind most art addressing cognitive thinking, so I am attempting to explore this through a concrete example of layering and moving between the 2D (line, surface, image), 3D (space, depth, object) & 4D (time, temporality, movement).
