"Živjeti znači prelaziti iz jednog prostora u drugi dajući sve od sebe da se negdje ne bubnemo."
Georges Perec, Vrste prostora

Prostor u kojem stanujemo prisvajamo bez pitanja. On je sam po sebi naš. Mi vladamo podovima, zidovima, stropovima i svim inim oblicima našeg prostora. Prema njemu se ponašamo kao prema našim najbližim, našim sestrama, braći i roditeljima. Genetski smo povezani s uređajima, škrinjama, stolicama i gomilom nevažnih predmeta. Kako starimo, smatramo se neizmjernim sakupljačima nevažnih stvari i kao hrčci posesivno čuvamo svoje ikone kao dokaz osvojenog vremena u prostoru.

As we grow old, we see ourselves as great collectors of irrelevant things, and, like hamsters, we possessively keep our icons as evidence of conquered time in space.
