NATURAL PRESENCE

Presence as a phenomenon is, in the first instance, associated with being physically present. Our natural presence is defined by our body, which is present at a certain moment in a certain place, and this is perceived by the body itself and/or by its environment. With our body, and through our body, we move through time and move from place to place. The impact of our actions can reach beyond this time and place. The action itself starts from the time and place where the body is. Natural presence is dependent upon our physical presence. This study assumes that to have presence one needs to be alive.
