ABSTRACT
This chapter draws on the object relations of psychoanalysis, in order to suggest an understanding of some of her works, as well as the specificity of the process through which they are created, and the specificity of their medium. The various developments that Wilfred Bion makes from Melanie Klein's concept of projective identification are central to this discussion. Jayne Parker, an artist and filmmaker, work inspires a way of thinking about the medium of film and the process of working with film that foregrounds the relations between embodied subject and material support, and internal and external worlds, which arguably move beyond more conventional forms of articulation. The chapter also focuses on some of Rosalind Krauss's comments on the work of Richard Serra. New media theorist Lev Manovich investigates what he calls 'operations', a word that he uses to define computer data manipulation techniques.
