Dear Room Maker

I have no intention to occupy. Actually I wonder whether the rooms you make are meant to be occupied at all. I got to know them only through some digital impressions. I’m not greedy, and I find congenial ignorance, however transitory, encouraging. So I’m now sharing with you my words before meeting you and your rooms in person.

I can’t occupy your rooms, for I already sense a fullness in them – a fullness without a host. If I ever wish to be granted a night’s lodging, expecting hospitality or humiliation or anything in between, there would be no landlord to turn to. Nor can I clear anybody out of the room through a violence sweep, like how it’s often been done. I’m allowed to enter, and simply accept the state of your room’s fullness. I’m content with that, for too often in this preposterously eventful world, a room is just a placeholder for either battles or entrapments.

The nature of your rooms become clear to me when I see a perspective grid...More expand_more
