"The boat is a floating piece of space, a place without a place, that exists by itself, that is closed in on itself and at the same time is given over to the infinity of the sea. In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up."
Michel Foucault, "Des espaces autres", 1984
We do not live in a homogeneous and empty space, but on the contrary, in a space thoroughly imbued with quantities and perhaps thoroughly fantastic as well.The space of our primary perception, the space of our dreams and that of our passions hold within themselves qualities that seem intrinsic: there is a light, ethereal, transparent space, or again a dark, rough, encumbered space; a space from above, of summits, or on the contrary a space from below of mud; or again a space that can be flowing like sparkling water, or space that is fixed, congealed, like stone or crystal.
