Abstract

The text, here presented, leads the reader to an aesthetic-philosophical analysis of the concepts of the skin, body, existence. Through this analysis, the ideas of subjectivity and representation are deconstructed. Indeed, retracing some pictorial examples, we can deepen the relationship between identity and otherness. This relationship is established from some specific instructions: to stage the existence, the body, its outside, its escription. Existence is, on the skin, this escription always imminent and never-ending, where everything is in touch and to touch «is possible only by not touching» (Derrida), but pushing more «to-come» the desire for a continuous exposure, of an exorbitant nudity.
