No.174

The experience of living in a house is remembered like a woven fabric of images and narratives. Narratives where sometimes irrelevant details fade away and sometimes leave a vivid imprint on life events with their profound impact. As these narratives come together, a house takes shape in the imagination that gives meaning to our other spatial experiences and becomes the stage for many of our dreams. A house that we cannot exactly say which of those houses we have lived in it actually is, because this house is no longer just an external house. We have gradually built it inside ourselves simultaneously with experiencing real and imaginary spaces.
