The aim of this master's thesis is to explore the ways in which space is perceived, experienced, and characterized. The two terms mentioned in the title, ‘space’ and ‘perception,’ are defined through a theoretical foundation of the historical interpretation of space and its characteristics when it comes to defining space in the context of visual and fine arts. A crucial component in the interpretation of space is the relationship between the artist, the artwork, and the audience. The definition of an idea and its translation into a specific medium are key to understanding the relationship between content and form. In my research, I have used specific examples from history of art, focusing on the second half of the 20th century and works of contemporary art. The space also defines the way a work is exhibited and its relationship with the audience, which unfolds in gallery, public, and private settings. Through my personal practical work, I seek to represent the conceptual process experientially and connect it with the visitors, offering them, in a conditional sense, the choice of the level of engagement in the movement of the work through the medium of installation.
