Gregory Chatonsky

Siegfried Zielinski’s notion of media as “spaces of action for constructed attempts to connect what is separated,” offers a perspective from which to consider Gregory Chatonsky’s hauntingly simple 2004 interactive installation, « Se toucher toi: installation pour trois espaces à distance. » Chatonsky’s work is proposed as an instance of the shared experience of withinness of media through which we interdependently construct truths. These reflections borrow upon Jean-Luc Nancy’s ‘The ground of the image (Au fond des images)’ and other texts in the course of revisiting what Joyce has called “the interdeterminability of points of perception.”
