In the spirit of matter in trans* (*transition, transformation, translation…) how to define space, to get defined by the landscape? It could be a shed, a factory, a site in construction after the ruination of an infrastructure, what once was left behind, a home. As movement never stops matter will move through the body of time. In the crack of a stone, in a room of decay and transformation in deep time quitness will sculpt itself. To facilitate the collapse and the growth of an image. To trace the origin of a material and their potential translation, the expansion of their bodily capability. Bodies, rooms, architectures, landscapes, atmospheres, ghosts, a fragrance, a sound, community building in delay, reverb--a bodies afterlife. In the thresholds of nature-technology, geology-cosmology, heritage-futurity, in duration, to break matter in precision and stitch it back, to diconstruct, to shed the body/the vessel/the container. A leaking vessel, an unbuilding body formation.
