“The room is darkened so that a ray of light can pierce it, enchant it, and unfold an entire world onto a two-dimensional white screen. That’s why, for me, darkness is neither unpleasant nor gloomy. On the contrary, I associate it with a condensed form of life. Immense, like the night. Intimate, like the pupil of an eye.”
(Anouk de Clercq quoted in Vicente Monroy’s A Brief History of Darkness)
