Abstract

In a culture, which is understood as a complex of prohibitions, the phenomenon of wall as incarnate prohibition is examined. The role of wall is probed in a historical aspect, and the fragment of wall as substrate in fine art. Certain locus of walls as the crossing of rays of direct and reverse prospects, jointly adopted a positive prospect. On the example of graffiti, the concept of negative prospect is introduced. It is noted that integral appearance in a negative prospect disintegrates to pieces. The destruction of image is explained by the influence of wall as an incarnate meta-physical prohibition. The interpreting of the phenomenon of wall is the object of study of apophatic philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
