“More than ever, we are a migratory species, and I wonder why we walk the earth without exactly inhabiting it—the way we sometimes look at each other, but don’t see. We can’t really touch or feel time. It evades our five senses. But looking at place, it’s possible to perceive time, and to move through it. Place is timebending. We have a tendency to exoticise distant places, but there is no mundane spot on this earth. My corner bodega was likely once upon a time a nursery for pterodactyls.”
