SOLO EN LA HABITACION MIRANDO AL FONDO FIJAMENTE, CAMINO HACIA ELLA, CERRAMOS LOS OJOS Y ME ENCUENTRO A LA MESA. ME LEVANTO Y CORRO HACIA LA PUERTA POR DONDE UNICO ENTRA LUZ BUSCANDO ESCAPAR EL OSCURO RECUERDO QUE EVOCA AQUEL ESPACIO VACIO. ALONE, STARING CLOSELY AT THE END OF THE ROOM, I WALK TOWARDS HER, I CLOSE MY EYES AND SUDENLY I'M SITTING AT THE TABLE. I GET UP AND RUN TO THE DOOR, THE ONLY SOURCE OF LIGHT IN THIS ROOM, TRYING TO ESCAPE THE DARK MEMORIES THAT BRINGS BACK THAT EMPTY SPACE.

COMO SI UN RIO PASARA POR LA NAVE Y EL PASILLO DE COLUMNAS LA RIVIERA, ME ASOMO Y VEO MI REFLEJO, CAMINO HACIA EL CENTRO Y NO ME HUNDO, ¿SERA QUE AHORA PUEDO CAMINAR SOBRE ALGUA?

AS IF A RIVER RAN THROUGH THE CENTRAL NAVE AND BETWEEN THE CORRIDOR OF COLUMNS WAS THE RIVIERA, I LOOKED OUT AND SEE MY REFLECTION. I WALK TOWARDS THE CENTER AND I DON’T SINK. WOULD IT BE THAT NOW I CAN WALK ON WATER?

EL SUELO SE ABRE Y SE TRAGA EL AGUA; Y LA DEJA CAER A TRAVÉS DE LA CUBIERTA. ¿HABRÁ UN AGUJERO NEGRO EN ESTA HABITACIÓN?

THE FLOOR OPENS UP AND DRAINS THE WATER, AND THEN IT POURS IT OUT THROUGH THE CEALING. COULD THERE BE A BLACK HOLE IN THIS ROOM?

COLORES, HORMIGON, DISTINTAS ALTURAS, VENTANAS ESCOTADAS QUE POCO A POCO REVELAN EL SIGUIENTE ESPACIO Y UN CIELO ABIERTO ME ACOMPAÑAN HASTA LA SALIDA.

COLORS, CONCRETE, RANDOM HIGHTS, REAVILING WINDOWS THAT LITTLE BY LITTLE GIVE AWAY THE NEXT SPACE AND AN OPEN SKY FOLLOW ME TILL THE EXIT.

ANTE UN ESPACIO SIN ESQUINAS, FRAGMENTADO INTERMITENTEMENTE POR PAÑOS DE CRISTAL, Y SOBRE SU CABEZA UNA CHIMENEA DE LUZ QUE BAÑA LAS PAREDES CON FORMA DE EMBUDO, CONTEMPLO LA GRANDEZA DE AQUEL LUGAR QUE PROPONIA LIBERARLE DE LA GRAVEDAD Y LE INVITA A VOLAR. BEFORE HIM A SPACE WITHOUT CORNERS, FRAGMENTED PARTIALLY BY GLASS PANES, OVER HIM A FUNNEL-SHAPED SKYLIGHT SOFTLY WASHING THE WALLS WITH LIGHT, THERE HE STAND WHATCHING THE GREATNESS OF THAT PLACE WHICH PROPOSSED FREEING HIM FROM GRAVITY AND INVITED HIM TO FLY AWAY.
