  2. “Space of Flower Pollen” — Extract the substance of dullness. A heavy face covers another heavy face and so on until they become layers.
  3. “Space of Evaporation” — Wearing a cape made of light. you are made of particles and who is trembling like the wings of a bee.

  6. “Space of Swamp” — Size of swamp, the weight of the swamp. Foul odors. Green muck on the surface. Pus flows out of your ears. Decomposed gums. Slippery things on your sole. Brains pour out. From fallen angel to a mask.
  7. “Space of Flowers” — From Hanako’s face to a mask. Alterations of fingers (petal, small firework, brooch, dove, shellfish, spool of thread.) When you pull the thread, you change into a slight fool, then a half fool, then a compete fool, then a Kotaro young samurai, then an old woman in Goya’s drawing, then a deaf person, then a strange dwarf. The dwarf holds a short knife. He is aiming at capillary nerves floating in the sky.
  8. “Space of Willow” — This is the ultimate space of nerves. Nerves like in the works of art by Michaux, Wols, and Polltus. The accumulation of nerves hangs out like branches of a willow tree and is trying to melt into the air. The root of the nerves like in the drawing by Polltus has grown. Straw dust in the wall. Dolls made of thin wires. Hair is growing from below your nose, your chin, and behind your ears. your entire body stretches sideways.
