My concept of space
In the recent years my concept of space has changed altogether. The present space is diminishing and the historical space is expanding. I move from Alexandria of the Ptolemes to Delos on an open boat traveling from island to island in the Cyclades. The space is deep blue, the island ash colored. Delos is chained with diamond chains to the bottom of the sea since Apollo has been born under a palm tree there and the island stopped emerging and disappearing from the waters. From there the boat departs for the Nile Delta and the fabulous city of Alexandria. On its streets I follow a procession of flute players. As a disciple I follow them deep into the night. A faint music covers the city until dawn.
