What would become ofthe emptiness?
Often enough it appears to be absence
Is it a failure to seal up a cavity or a gap?
Is it a failure to fill a hole?
a residue,
a negative space in a city, a building or a ground
a space in-between…
what is possible? Between an object and a place, a containerand a contained, between an ending and a beginning, between construction and demolition,
these placeless places,
ordinary spaces,
an inventory of extensions, of what was or what will be,
a threshold
a border
a happening
… and all of the spaces in-between.
