Der Eintånzer(dancing table), 1978

Encountering the room for the very first moment-a room as a completely remote and isolated world in itself; enclosed in its own continuity; formed by the memory of those who have lived ther before.

The walls, mirrors, and windows-all living their own singular life and experience-breathing and changing continuously in harmony with th eintensity of the ever-changing light.

You feel all of these pasts alive in the objects which surround you, simultanously evoking new associations and sensations-
creating new and unoccupied space for your own fantasis.
if you actually decide to inhabit this room, your daydreams will enlarge and become more intense; independence will re-arise as you become increasingly alive.
The only fact that will be unsure: whether that story has already taken place, or that it is now beginning to develop as an extension of the room itself.

Until the new skin of events mingles so completely with the rest of the room that it finally becomes identical with the old skin.
