Abstract

In Rudolf Arnheim's Dynamics of Architectural Form, Arnheim argues that in many ways, physical space is less important to human beings than the psychological perception of space. For the average man, experience isn't made up of isolated incidents, but rather an "experience is generated only though the interrelation of objects." In Michelangelo Antonion's film L'avventura, the tension that exists in space when objects are moved together and pulled apart forms a large part of his language on the nature of sexual relationships. My thesis will incorporate Arnheim's article "Elements of space" in order to illustrate how Antonioni is manipulating space perception in L'avventura to reflect not only the predatory nature of sexuality, but also a looming sense of danger and female fragility.
