the incarcerated image [section]: a mausoleum for naivety, perhaps, 2024

in situ. Studio Paradiso, Plymouth


The universe is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries… From any hexagon one can see the floors above and below - one after another, endlessly. The arrangement of the galleries is always the same… One of the hexagon's free sides opens onto a narrow sort of vestibule, which in turn opens onto another gallery, identical to the first - identical in fact to all.

Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Babel


In all these places I have stood in Doorways and looked ahead. I have never seen any indication that the World was coming to an End, but only the regular progression of Halls and Passageways into the Far Distance.

Susanna Clarke, Piranesi




Daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears the mark of infinity.

Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
