EMOTIONAL RECEPTIVITY THROUGH POEM-(CINEMATIC) IMAGE AND POEM-DRAWING ENTWINEMENT. DISCOVERY OF EMBODIED KNOWLEDGE THROUGH TARKOVSKY’S “MIRROR”.

The aim of this article is to contribute to a cultivation of receptivity and responsiveness towards the emotional dimension of an environment. This article was developed around artistic reflections on oneiric childhood places, dense with vulnerable shared memories, and feelings layered through time. Poem-cinematic image entwinement in Tarkovsky’s Mirror was the cinematographic autobiography that offered a conceptual and methodological guideline for the author’s own excavations and re-creations of embodied memories and emotional experiences. This was achieved through a cycle of poem-drawings. The article also discusses how poetic profusion between verbal and visual representations of the built surrounding can develop into a personal language that allows the communication and integration of emotional experiences in spatial interpretations.
