Affective Architecture. Film as a Sensory Transference Tool and an Intimacy Projection Environment
- 2016
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper elucidates how film may offer itself as a tool for both the representation and conception of space that can strengthen an alternative, phenomenological and transcendental position in architecture. The paper underscores that the film camera can work as a kind of amplifier of how we, with our bodies, perceive space and project space. Through an analysis of two films, it points to the medium of film as both a tool and an environment, based on Gernot Böhme's ‘Raum leiblicher Anwesenheit (Böhme2006). These films illustrate how the film's picture frame becomes almost like a skin and through its surface and sound projects both a site and a near-sensual experience simultaneously. The medium of film as both tool and an environment thereby supports an extended sensory-intimate reflection on outer experiences and inner sensations that - in its audio-visual and time-space-based presentation - is close to a human experience. This transference and performance may lead to an extended awareness of touch, as the base for intensive projections of becoming and a new affective architecture.

Films as human rights: through the lens of Indigenous Peoples’ Forest food
- 2023
-
In: Applied human rights. - 9789086869435 ; , s. 67-83

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Among various forms of communication, a combination of audio-visual formats like films is increasingly used in promoting human rights. Indigenous Peoples’ rights to forest food in India are being amplified through a film, TARA Alpinia nigra. This article examines how common resources, such as wild edible forest food, when turned into commodities violate basic human rights to the culture and health of India’s Indigenous Peoples. When a human rights violation happens, it means that person’s humanity has been denied. Often, human rights violation is expressed in statistics (numbers) or via legal bindings (treaties, policies), which fail to have a human touch. Filmmaking on human rights violations touches that human element by shedding light, camera, and action by amplifying the voices of the ‘human beings’, the real protagonists. This article demonstrates the role of film in documenting the ‘way of living and traditional right to sustainable forest food for Assam’s – North-East province in India – hunting-gathering Indigenous communities. It elaborates how films can become a powerful medium when the human ‘rightsholders’ are given a space to voice their opinions in front of the lens. The conclusions point out two ways forward: (a) the films become a lens of justice by letting real people talk in front of the camera rather than voice-overs by the ‘beholders’ of human rights, and (b) Indigenous Peoples are aware of their traditional rights to forest food as commons.
