This paper includes a copy of the interactive photodocumentary CD rom titled the 'Poetics of Thresholds'. This CD Rom was developed as one aspect of the presentation of my research project. Within the CD Rom is a readable copy of this paper. The research paper is the basis of my research project. The project deals with the chair as a significant symbol when placed in the space of the porch or verandah at the front of the home. The threshold stands at the point of convergence, where the public space of the street, meets with the private space of the home. This hybridised space, between inside and outside, private and public, object and subject, is empowered with meaning. In the threshold space sits the chair which is a metaphor, the embodiment of human elements, such as arms, legs, back and seat. This ergonomically designed symbolic form placed on the threshold, projects the occupant out towards the public space. In the public space the seerer can develop a series of narratives which explore various interpretations. / Master of Arts (Hons)
