Laura Goldstein offers a brief but powerful set of poems to explicate the relational field of subjectivisation through the steady state of the camera. That is, the camera through its awesome nature melds difference within a topography and presents explicit atoms in relation. The camera, in Alain Badiou's terms, creates the envelope by which existence is determine and presented.
In this, we get a situation created by the subjectivisation that unifies a field as one. The various attendants in that field then are displayed as a unitary set world. In this set, Goldstein presents the figure of the camera as a mode of knowing, one that explicates as much as it leaves out.
