Lo infraordinario Quotes

“What we need to question is bricks, concrete, glass, our table manners, our utensils, our tools, the way we spend our time, our rhythms. To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us. We live, true, we breathe, true; we walk, we go downstairs, we sit at a table in order to eat, we lie down on a bed on order to sleep. How? Where? When? Why?

Describe your street. Describe another. Compare.”
― Georges Perec, L'infra-ordinaire

“Stellen Sie Ihrem Kaffeelöffel Fragen.
Was ist hinter der Tapete?
Wie viele Bewegungen sind notwendig, um eine Telefonnummer zu wählen? Warum? (S. 8)”
― Georges Perec, Warum gibt es keine Zigaretten beim Gemüsehändler?
