Vocabulary
stand at the point
1. Does the highlighted sentence mean "his sensations and dreams are so vivid that it sounds as if he had been as active as his doctors in the operating room during the operation"?
2. Does "stand at" here mean "point to" or "reside"?
Context:
An accompanying film, 1+1=1, is an interview with a patient, Patrick Wilkins, who received a heart and lung transplant in 1999. On-screen is a visual image of a digitally manipulated semi-organic form that rotates, moves, grows and recedes, a hypnotic force which abstracts the patient’s account of the bizarre bodily sensations and dreams he experienced before and after the operation, as much an active participant in the process as his doctors. The artist stands at the point at which the subjective and objective converge.
