| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of architectural spaces by applying the object relations theory, which represents modern psychoanalysis, to internal and external spaces sought after in the images of Iwai Shunji’s movies. For this purpose, the study employed the following methodologies: first, the study would examine general content about his movies and the object relations theory; second, it would compare his movies and identify the characteristics of internal and external spaces in them; and third, it would compare and analyze the findings based on the object relations theory and reinterpret them based on the architectural composition principles regarding the mutual intersection of internal and external spaces in modernism architecture. The findings were as follows: first, Iwai’s images are represented by two image techniques of making an object appear at the camera position and making an object appear and exit through tracking short; second, the image technique of making an object appear at the camera position induces the division of internal and external spaces in images and is similar to the process of reaching the paranoid schizoid position by Klein; third, the image technique of making an object appear and exit through tracking short corresponds to the process of expanding internal and external spaces in images and shares the concept of the depressive position by Klein; fourth, the spaces in Iwai’s images are similar to a spatial composition principle of modernism architecture called the mutual intersection of internal and external spaces; and finally, the modernism spaces in his movies with these two image techniques added depict the personality development process of young children, which moves from the paranoid schizoid position to the depressive position in narrative, more precisely. |
