I would like there to exist places that are stable, unmoving, intangible, untouched and almost untouchable, unchanging, deep-rooted; places that might be points of reference, of departure, of origin: […]
Such places don’t exist […] Space is a doubt: I have constantly to mark it, to designate it. It’s never mine, never given to me, I have to conquer it.
My spaces are fragile: time is going to wear them away, to destroy them. Nothing will any longer resemble what was, my memories will betray me, oblivion will infiltrate my memory […]
Space melts like sand running through one’s fingers. Time bears it away and leaves me only shapeless shreds:
To write: to try meticulously to retain something, to cause something to survive; to wrest a few precise scraps from the void as it grows, to leave somewhere a furrow, a trace, a mark or a few signs.

The Intimacies Of The Urban
Life in a city is permeated with peculiar, oft overlooked, intimacies with strangers. Take windows. As you walk through the city, you may casually glance up and see someone on the phone, a father playing with his kid, a family eating dinner, everyone everywhere watching tv. You might see…
The problem is not to invent space, much less to re-invent it … but to examine it, or, more simply, to read it; because what we call the everyday is not obvious, it is opaque: a kind of blindness, a type of anesthesia.
— Georges Perec, Species of Spaces (foreword)
