1. A space for
stories: stories in
space

3. “Stories rub the facts of our lives. They give us
access – if only for a few hours, if only in bed at
the end of the day – to what’s beneath.”
Jonathan Safran Foer

4. “We see with memory. My memory is different
from yours, so if we are both standing in the
same place we’re not quite seeing the same
thing. Different individuals have different
memories, therefore other elements are playing
a part. Whether you have been in a place before
will affect you, and how well you know it. There
is no objective vision ever – ever.”
David Hockney
