Spaces One
Proxemics
The trilogy “Spaces” started in 2016 as a photographic essay exploring the social relationship between spaces and society based on proxemics behavior. Collection 1 of the trilogy: Spaces One – Proxemics.
Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behavior, communication, and social interaction. Edward T. Hall, the cultural anthropologist who coined the term in 1963, defined proxemics as “the interrelated observations and theories of humans use of space as a specialized elaboration of culture.” In his foundational work on proxemics, The Hidden Dimension, Hall emphasized the impact of proxemic behavior (the use of space) on interpersonal communication. According to Hall, the study of proxemics is valuable in evaluating not only the way people interact with others in daily life, but also “the organization of space in houses and buildings, and ultimately the layout of towns.” Proxemics remains a hidden component of interpersonal communication that is uncovered through observation and strongly influenced by culture.
