I am interested in looking at the spaces where ritual is revealed, from the mundane rituals of eating to the more rarified ones of religious ceremonies. I will also be looking at the notion of the personal ritual versus a more communal experience. Looking at the integration of the different senses used for the rituals and the spaces where the rituals occur. Some examples if these might be the ritual of making a move in Fellini's 8 1/2 , bathing in the thermal baths at Vals by Peter Zumthor, living and working in the house of Walter Pichler, or the funeral procession with in a Cistercian Church. How does the ritual change the space and how does the space change the ritual? How their meanings change over time is also of interest to me. When do new rituals begin? What does the change in the space over time mean to the ritual? What is the relation of memory to ritual and space?
