"Like a gap or crack, a niche traces itself. A depression in the body. A quiet space. A crack into which the light can penetrate, or from which it can escape. A pause. A condensed space turning inwards, towards the centre. Focus. A naked wound facing the outer space, the world. A place where memory rests; where time becomes cyclical, where events, memories and stories overlap. A fusion between the inner and the outer, between time, thought and memory."

Niche

"A compressed movement from one memory to another, defined differently depending on the location. Movement is enclosed by mass; it delimits the interior from the exterior in a particular direction. Darkness, perhaps. At the beginning of the story and at its end, where the outer space becomes apparent, the light is pressed inwards, it retracts inside like matter, defines the inner spaces."

Passage

"A linking body, an inward movement, towards the interior of the mass. The compact, closed, introvert takes on physical form. A silence emerges. Presence and absence. Here body, landscape and time fuse into one, here memory dances a solitary waltz."

Nave

"A condensed space from which movement range outwards, towards the inner limits of the space, but also vertically, with the body reaching upwards towards the light and down towards the earth, towards darkness. (...) The shaft encloses memory, traces stored as layers on top of each other, a memory archive. The landscape's stored memory, the body's relationship to the traces in the landscape."
