Such an awareness underlies a historical, museal society, also beyond the walls of museums, exhibits, and collections. Responding to the particular historical dimension and sense of elusiveness of the culture of their day, exhibition spaces emerge as problematic settings of coherence and "presentification." In this context, an analysis of the interstices between spaces in literature (Balzac, Rodenbach, and Mallarmé), and the experience of the built environment throughout the century, shows how the interplay of ephemerality and presentification communicates a particular experience of temporal deferral, fragmentation, and composition from the part of the spectator." |
