Evacuating bodies

1. Does "the flat coloured shadow-like shapes that are depicted adjacent to these leaking bodies" mean other object is paintings other than the human bodies"?

2. Does "evacuating bodies" mean "hollow bodies"?

3. Does "can be read in terms of the conjoining of body and ground" mean 'these flat forms look like connectors between the bodies and the ground"? But, it does not make sense.

4. Does "It is a self-reflexively pulsating body, not a body that ‘empties itself out" mean"the body seems alive rather than empty"?

5. Does "which re-finds the traces of the primary narcissism of auto-eroticism in which the nascent ego took itself as its own object" mean "the body which revives primary narcissism in which the new-born ego understands itself as an object"?

Context:

For Adams, using a Lacanian approach, the evacuation of the interiors of Bacon’s leaking bodies operates at the limit of detaching the eye from its seat of mastery, and what we are left with is instead the inert essence of being, what Lacan calls the ‘lamella’ and which Adams sees evidenced in the flat coloured shadow-like shapes that are depicted adjacent to these leaking bodies in their escape from geometral space. For her, this impulse towards dissipation is not masochistic, but has a death-like static quality. While I agree with her reading that the evacuating bodies unseat the gaze of mastery, which in Lacan’s visual diagrams is the seat of the eye, I would maintain that this does occur in the realm of masochism of the type I hinted at in the introduction. Rather than being inert shadows, these flat contours without volume, which can also be viewed as holes in the paintings, can be read in terms of the conjoining of body and ground to produce a masochistic body that takes pleasure in its drives being folded back onto itself. It is a self-reflexively pulsating body, not a body that ‘empties itself out’, but one that is in the process of a bodily transformation beyond the mirror, which re-finds the traces of the primary narcissism of auto-eroticism in which the nascent ego took itself as its own object.
