"As we trailed the artists deeper and deeper, noting where they'd broken off stalagmites to mark their path, we found signs that seemed to say, 'We're sanctifying a finite space in an infinite universe.' ... The acoustics magnify every sound, and it takes the brain a few minutes to accept the totality of the darkness--your sight keeps grasping for a hold. Whatever the art means, you understand, at that moment, that its vessel is both a womb and a sepulchre."
--J. Thurman, First Impressions
21st century man
