Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to organize the two types of space in sculptural
representation through the discussions about the “image consciousness” and the two
types of phantasy in Husserl. Regarding the space of sculptural representation, there
is an account that the representational space exists virtually being free from the local
reality of sculpture (virtual representational space), and another account that it is
located in the real space where the sculpture is placed and spectator is present (local
representational space). From the view point of the image consciousness, on the one
hand, the virtual representational space is formed in the reproductive phantasy, as a
space of “image subject,” which does not share the present bodily space of spectators.
On the other hand, the local representational space is formed through the “neutrality
modification” of the real space operated in the perceptual phantasy, as a space of “image
subject” identified with the “image object” by the aesthetic attitude, which shares the
present bodily space of spectators and which can reflect their concrete movements.
