ABSTRACT
A NEW DIMENSION Visual representation and enjoyment, touch and work, facilitate a forgetting of the horror of the there-is by enabling separation. The amorphous is succeeded by form and comprehension. But the space across which objects are seen or grasped is not absolute exteriority. That space is the space of the interiority of-the Same in which depth is a dimension of being side by side, a third dimension equivalent to laterality perceived from a different point of view. It is the space in which the ego exercises power. Absolute exteriority is a new dimension where depth has no lateral equivalent and where there is no comparison of depth; a dimension beyond measure. Not the interval between a viewpoint and a phenomenal surface or façade, the absolute interval is the face to face.
