The Bedroom / George Perec " Species of Space and Other Pieces"



What does it mean, to live in a room? Is to live in a place to take possession if it? What does taking possesions of a place mean? As from when does somewhere become truly yours?
                                                                               George Perec, The Bedroom (page 24).

Questions and definitions on George Perec's thoughts on the room and sense of belonging and the questions posed.

How is our way of developing perception for places?

Bedroom, İs it a space that protects me from outdoor conditions; is a functional space where I can keep my possessions and stay? Or; Is it the area we are wrapped around, covering, representing our existence, defining me, being a piece or a part of it?

To feel a sense of belonging in one place, is it important or necessary to be able to sustain life in one place?

Especially in communities that live communal life, the lack of a private room belonging to the person, how does the feeling of space-individualism affect? How do those who share a common area leave a trace there? Can we say that spaces have multiplied from communal life to individual life by dividing?

Belongingness:

The sense of belonging and ownership is one of the important issues for people. Generally 
we develop in relation to spiritual and metamorphic elements, our sense of belonging / ownership. Having something like an object or person (through emotional connection) is often the result of experiences. We define ourselves through what we have as a result of these experiences. So, our experiences; the relationship we establish with any object, person, situation or phenomenon is important to us.

About the bedroom:

Closure-confinement space.
Sleepeng- rest space.
Nested space.
Expanding from one point to the walls; room with folded walls around, woven net. Space where person turns into a place.


Room is a lot!
Everywhere is room!
Everywhere is knitted!
Room comforting and sweltering.
 It's half the life.
Human's prison, human’s freedom.


Interior area.
Sheltered area.
Area with boundaries.
Special area.
The area where human beings can be natural.

The area where community identity is left.

The Bedroom for me:

İt is just part of the area that is sedentary of my life. The place where I exist. My fixed place; the area that fixed me. Getting a place. Just a place I live and belong to me. My only area in the interior.













One day from the inside to the outside. The stability of space and the changing world.

The Town / George Perec " Species of Space and Other Pieces"

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/my-drive The city has the largest area of experience and the final limits on sense of belonging and space. The person who lives the city lives all the experiences he has developed in the sense of belonging, spread out from the room to out, living in the city boundaries. Because the city becomes a universe of man, a place in which a person is freed and beyond which most often do not imagine experientially. The interior in particular, across which an individual bedroom, opening to the outside world swings, outdoor, urban atmosphere. with the context of crowded and multi-cultural nature, city life offers us a world. Spaces of City, Borders and Flow Cities with a multi-layered, cosmopolitan structure represent a fast-flowing life in a metaphorically dense and crowded space. The fast flowing time, the flow of things around us, the rapid flow of events and the changes and transformations that flow brings. However, we are not a...

Loise Bourgeois / Red Room (Parents)

Room: Life, Memory and Traces It is known that the artist has a great share in the artistic production of the experiences of his childhood years. This installation of room is a good example of art based on space, experiences and traces. The red room is the bearer of the traces of the memory of the artist's childhood. The narrow enclosed space with wooden platters has a tense atmosfere with a red bed in its center. A void of the artist's past seems to be a state of concreteness. İn fact, It reveals artist's fixing in this space or turn into this space. Loise Bourgeois, Red Room (Parents) , 1994, wood, metal, rubber, fabric, marble, glass and mirror.
