BRIDGE and DOOR

venice | 24.07.09

Gaze in a narrow street in Venice...
In my mind I made a connection between the picture and the concept of collaboration...
the association with bridges came quickly.

...[T]he uninterrupted transformations of materials as well as energies brings everything into relationship with everything else and make one cosmos out of all the individual elements...however, the objects remain banished in the merciless separation of space; no particle matter can share its space with another and a real unity of the diverse does not exist in spatial terms.
...

In the immediate as well as in the symbolic sense, in the physical as well as in the intellectual sense, we are at any moment those who separate the connected or connect the separate.
