visiting: a tiny void

In that moment - just after the life inside the show has ended, and just before life outside the show has started again - we realise a dual capture has occurred, an arresting in motion, on the way to an unknown destination, after departure and before arrival. A gap arises between the show we have made and the show that has made us - a tiny void. Does this void constitute the possibility of grace? The possibility of poetry?

  2. Hi Julia,
    I have at last got back to my blog and PhD research, although I have been involved in related work I haven't been looking directly at it for a while!
    So I have managed to add you as a link,
    Best to you and New York,
