i always love it when a phenomenon has the ability to contain and to melt together in a sensual way three functions / meanings:

1. It represents / gives shape to – some world – known, experienced before but not defined – an almost lost light is saved – with a sigh of relieve as result;

2. It presents an unknown realm that is exciting and confusing, maybe frightening – to discover. A new source to develop new perspectives from – perspectives on the core of life. To witness the birth of new lights is always exciting …;

3. It presents itself – it is capable of being enough as it is.
It is capable to make observe and enjoy the phenomenon itself, without representing worlds outside itself.
A phenomenon that invites to the concentration on its ingredients – the order, the development, it’s structure – all it’s musical means – but those means not being dry facts, but a space – a living space – an architecture of lights – that one experiences in a physical way.

These three experiences combined – mirror and window and surface of the glass at the same time – the whole of these different spaces – is an erotic experience. We belong there.

And to mention broken glass – and all the things it could mean.
