Abstract:

The concept of counter space or negative space is developed from Goethe’s concept of space as described by the young Rudolf Steiner. Whilst the three dimensions of space are based on the relation between two separated objects, the three dimensions of counter space are based on the separation of two intertwined contexts or surroundings. In order to familiarise the reader with the notion of context, the article starts with a geometric exercise and a reflection on the relationship between the human being and the context of a specific percept using the eyes.
