Suspension in the Organ:

An Aesthetic Insight Toward the Role of Organs in Painting

Abstract:
This doctoral project investigates how figurative painting can articulate suspended states of embodiment—fragmented, dream-like bodies detached from linear time. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the Body without Organs, the research explores how painting, photography, and installation can translate the logic of dreams—fragmentation, repetition, and ambiguity—into aesthetic forms. Through this approach, the project proposes a visual grammar of suspension, where presence and absence, stillness and intensity, converge.
