Earth Moves

<i>Earth Moves</i> Bernard Cache's first major work conceptualizes a series of architectural images as vehicles for two important developments. First he offers a new understanding of the architectural image itself. Following Gilles Deleuze and Henri Bergson he develops an account of the image that is nonrepresentational and constructive--images as constituents of a primary image world of which subjectivity itself is a special kind of image. Second Cache redefines architecture beyond building proper to include cinematic pictoral and other framings.Complementary to this classification Cache offers what is to date the only Deleuzean architectural development of the fold a form and concept that has become important over the last few years. For Cache as for Deleuze what is significant about the fold is that it provides a way to rethink the relationship between interior and exterior between past and present and between architecture and the urban.
