Abstract

In this article I intend to explore the centrality of the media − particularly photography, but also film and television − in Ronald Kay’s thinking and writing, starting from a close reading of the poems of Variaciones Ornamentales and Deep Freeze, as well as his essays Del espacio de acá and Circuito cerrado. In these works, Kay reflects on the medial nature of techniques and devices, as well as on the transformations that media generates in other media (intermediality) and its consequences on spatio-temporal dimensions and on movement.
