The point of departure of this article is a collaborative installation work in whose creation one of the authors (Remco Roes) participated. The article combines a visual essay, composed from images documenting both the final exhibition and the process leading up to it, and a written commentary that attempts to point at—or point out—how knowledge or thinking may occur within or through a sequence of images such as this. These two essays, and the oblique relationship between them, are designed to shed light not only on one specific work of art but, more generally, on how we may inhabit different kinds of interiors, whether or not they are purely “physical.” It also reflects on the visual essay genre as itself a way of thinking through artistic, design and philosophical problems.
