 STATE OF SPACE – Anne Katrine Senstad

- The sun, I presume you will say, not only furnishes to visibles the power of visibility but it also provides for their generation and growth and nurture though it is not itself generation.

Plato, The Republic, Book. VI, Section 509 D


- The origin of something is the source of it’s essence. The question concerning the origin of the work of art asks about it’s essential source.

Martin Heidegger, The origin of the work of Art
