Abstract: This essay is exploring the displacement of identity through architecture, psychoanalysis and performance in particular dance. The connection between our internal psychological space and external spatial world is frequently subjective. The construction of the personality often plays a major role in the ways we experience spaces and even locate our bodies in them. But up to what extend does subjectivity affect our perception of space? Finding our subjective identities through physical and digital spaces involves our relationship with the subject and object. But how can we separate the real and the imaginary when we interact with them on a personal psychological level? Architecture is the reflection of the human psyche; in similar ways we construct our personalities we place ourselves in the space. Interactive installations and digital technologies empower a responsive dialogue and sense with the space; which allows the participant to form his own identity through the subject and the tectonics of movement.
