EKPHRASTIC expansion: one medium of art tries to relate to another medium by defining and describing its essence and form, and in doing so, relate more directly to the audience, through its illuminative liveliness.
The 4 stages of bed removal (regarding Ekphrasis)(and according to Plato)(and according to aristotle):
- a bed as a physical entity is a mere form of bed
- any view from whichever perspective, be it a side elevation, a full plan from above, or looking at a bed end-on is at a second remove
- a full picture, characterising the whole bed is at a third remove
- ekphrasis of a bed in another art form is at a fourth remove
The 4th REMOVAL. Remove the 4th removal to remove all from perspective.
