Summary/Abstract: From the perspective of the spatiality of an artistic work, it is the one that creates space for „making a work of art out of the truth of existence”. Thus, the space of the work art becomes an originary space that proposes another world, another form of existence. As far as the contemporary philosophy of space is concerned, it is detached from Kantian thinking, but it keeps the idea of abstract geometry as a spatial model. In this new perspective, it is necessary to relate what is subjective with what is objective in order to delimitate perception and human experience in the geometric organization of space. Conscience becomes the essential element of spatialization. By referring to a geographic space, it can be transformed, populated with objects to extreme, or it can be exposed to a particular, fantastic situation in which objectual-spatial determining is eliminated in favour of utopia, fiction and myth. Space is connected to psyche, the affect appeals to imagination and reverie, spatiality generating intense and varied psycho-affective contents, stimulating places of melancholia, nostalgia, reverie.
