I'm trying to do what I have never done - give the impression one has on entering a room: one sees everything and at the same time nothing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.
When you walk into a room, you assess it instantaneously, habitually, before you're even aware of it. I mean, you make sure there's not a hole you're going to fall into, but mostly you're not even aware of what you're thinking.
A room is not a room without natural light.
99 percent of what you see is not what comes in through the eyes. It is what you infer about that room.
Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.
My room for books and study or for sitting and thinking about nothing in particular to see what would happen was at the end of a hall.
A sponge sees everything? A sponge sees nothing.
I became startled by the extraordinary difference between something whose surface is completely invisible which only makes itself present by virtue of what it reflects, and a window, which doesn't make itself apparent at all, in the ideal case.
Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.
Nothing replaces being in the same room, face-to-face, breathing the same air and reading and feeling each other's micro-expressions.
