Acerca del libro
Space is an integral constituent of the self. Our psychological sense of selfhood has a spatial dimension which we recognize in our feelings of comfort or unease in response to the places that we visit and inhabit. At night the world of clear and articulated objects finds itself abolished.
Night makes us aware of the spatial nature of our being, since it readily abolishes the distinction between "us" and the "beyond," between the demarcating limits which the imagination creates for the self to join us to the world, while still retaining a sense of our separate identity. The dark makes the familiar unfamiliar and threatening. The monsters that lurk in our imagination come out to haunt us.

Stephanie Alexandria Parker is an Australian photomedia artist currently living in Canberra, Australia. In 2021 she was awarded a PhD in Visual Arts from the Australian National University. Her work in photographic media explores the constructed realities we create for ourselves. She has explored this theme in work on urban environments, portraiture, and dance. In urban environments she is fascinated by the constructed reality that is an urban landscape. She sees landscape essentially modeled for economic and social purposes to allow maximum human utility. Roads are a particular interest as they are a key to understanding how we think about an urban landscape For further information see www.stephaniep.com
