The chapter is addressing the ontological question, whether a different nature of an art work constitutes a specific space that we specifically enter. The analysis proceeds in two directions: firstly in light of Foucault's account of so called heterotopias and secondly in Merleau-Ponty's conception of image as the visible of the second power. Foucault's idea of heterotopia represents an approach that cautiously leans towards the view that 'different spaces' should be respected in the structure of our lived world (without putting a superficial emphasis on art as a higher value or beauty). Merleau-Ponty, on the other hand, distrusts the idea of special spaces because special spaces can be misconceived as detached spaces, designated from our ordinary world.
