"In Species of spaces, Perec talks about the ceilings and how the tangles of rosettes and decorations reminds him other labyrinths of ideas and words. So I have been imaging the ceiling as the place where the thoughts go and stick to,when you are lying on your bed. The installation will be the result of the collection of the first thought of the day during an undetermined but continuous period. The restricted choice of the first thought of the day is dictated by the difficulty on defying a thought that reveals itself in a specific time, when you are between sleeping and waking, moment that defines the switch from the unconscious state to the conscious one. Trait d union hardly definable, difficult to catch and control."
