It starts here, and yet, it never begins in this place. We were sitting there and were talking about this one occasion. Starting to pick something, you know: chatter, noise around you, movements between the tables, the smell of the U-Bahn running nearby, textures of the city, tastes of an atmosphere. It’s not like you could pin down what this is all about. But you get something: the sound of this voice, the way things are put, the pauses in between, the loose ends that might lead somewhere. What is handed to you are daily matters, as they pass you, as you pass them. Each specific, each like a shred of a story, even if it doesn’t appear like that: somehow incomplete then, open-ended, layer upon layer, thread upon thread. Things that might make you stay a bit more. That make you adjust, slowing you down in relation to them, as you try to get as close as possible. Somehow, you get weaved into this scene, so that it could no longer be said that you would be on top of this situation. If these are chunks of time, they also tell something about yourself. About the way you have moved upon now, the traces and references that precede you and that you have followed. The space here and now is not simply boundless, it is so in all its dispersed details. It’s not about one single line. What was happening? is a question that loses its significance, as this scene got the hold of us, as we got tangled into it.
