“Me gustaría que hubiera lugares estables, inmóviles, intangibles, intocados y casi intocables, inmutables, arraigados; lugares que fueran referencias, puntos de partida, principios: Mi país natal, la cuna de mi familia, la casa donde habría nacido, el árbol que habría visto crecer (que mi padre habría plantado el día de mi nacimiento), el desván de mi infancia lleno de recuerdos intactos… Tales lugares no existen, y como no existen el espacio se vuelve pregunta, deja de ser evidencia, deja de estar incorporado, deja de estar apropiado. El espacio es una duda: continuamente necesito marcarlo, designarlo; nunca es mío, nunca me es dado, tengo que conquistarlo”.
Georges Perec, Especies de espacios
"I wish there were stable, unmoving, intangible, untouched and almost untouchable, immutable, rooted places; places that were references, starting points, beginnings: My homeland, the cradle of my family, the house where I would have been born, the tree that I would have seen grow (which my father would have planted on the day of my birth), the attic of my childhood, full of memories still intact... Such places do not exist, and as they do not exist, space becomes a question, it stops being evidence, it ceases to be included, it is no longer appropriate. Space is a doubt: I continually need to mark it out, designate it; it is never mine, it is never given to me, I have to conquer it."
Georges Perec, Species of spaces
