Article Title：Baffling archaeology:: The strange gravity of Gordon!Matta-Clark's experience-optics
Abstract：
This article examines some aspects of Gordon Matta-Clark's late filmic works. it notes there the convergence of a variety of concerns from his broader oeuvre (in particular, his criticism of the systematizing tendencies of disciplines such as Architecture, and his interest in the underground. Archaeology and Expanded Cinema) and the emergence of what Matta-Clark termed experience-optics. It goes on to explore experience-optics in terms of the relationships encountered between cinematic image and the broader dimensions of Archaeology, gravity and vertigo, relationships through which the artist sought to encourage an active spectatorship that promised to open out human experience to an 'expanded being'.
Keywords: active spectatorship; expanded cinema; experience-optics; Gordon Matta-Clark; gravity; vertigo
