the visual field of the surroundings that are visible to me is always an incomplete field. This creates the desire for a clear map of Others and of the visual field. This absence of a response is what it is in expressionist paintings creates this feeling of something staring back at us.
- ANDRE VANTINO
who is invisible enough to see you?
PAUL CELAN on being desiring and yet invisible, not able to interact, rather than being a subject of the lacanian drive who is self-content and ready to be visible to others in a mode of desire called the lacanian drive in which a mere form of circling around objects is already the source of enjoyment rather than neurotic enjoyment in which one enjoys only from a distance, only by objectifying the object of love or by idealising the object too much.
The [fantasy]-gaze ..brings the subject into a position of being dominated by the desire of the Other. It is the opposite of the function of the [Real]-gaze in the analytic transference.
RICHARD BOOTHBY
Not the fantasy-gaze, but the Real-gaze of the psychoanalytic setting of the analyst not looking at us, is the modus of accepting that we cannot fill with fantasy what we cannot know.
ANDRE VANTINO
Proof of the universality of Lacan's concept of gaze: re-checking your sent email. You look back at yourself through the other
DANIEL TUTT on the Real-gaze as awareness of not being able to fully know how others read us and readyness to not fill in the gaps and uncertainties in the visual field with fantasies or with a fantasy-gaze about what exactly the Other is, that is, with a fantasy-reality about the Other.
The subject doesn't see the objet petit a, but its absence from the visual field is what makes the subject desire to look.
the objet petit a remains fundamentally inaccessible. It has no actual existence but nonetheless serves to trigger the desire of the subject. It is the inaction that transforms the everyday object into an object of desire, thereby eroticizing the visual field. - The Impossible David Lynch - TODD MCGOWAN
