INHABIT A SPACE

 

To make memory. Revisit all the places. I remember. I go to the beginning, going through all the moments. Building memory. This is not a memory, it's a dump of images. Like all those images that have accompanied me during this time. This time when this memory was being built, that's where it all came from, from memory. From revisiting spaces, from reliving events that I have never experienced, from trying to imagine who was in those places before us. Who and what. What they did, what they talked about and where their bodies were located. What they experienced. Which of those experiences remained impregnated in the walls, and which passed away. Walls don't speak, walls are only a physical limit. But it is this limit that marks the difference between inside and outside. Inside are those who speak, look, listen, write and do. We are. Or we are not because we have gone outside, or we were outside and we have gone inside, and then the space we leave is empty. There is an absence. But absence also speaks, emptiness speaks of everything possible, of everything that could be done. An empty space is always a space that can be occupied. Occupied by other bodies and other doings. An empty space is a space open to the possible. The search engine of this research has been the void, learning to move in the void, to build from nothingness. Letting the void speak.
