Her fingers pause in mid-air”¦
No space ever vanishes utterly, leaving no trace.

Hendes fingre, ubeví¦gelige i luften”¦
Intet rum forsvinder helt uden at efterlade sig spor.

He loves this feeling of slowing down
In space, what came earlier continues to underpin what follows.

Han elsker fí¸lelsen af at sí¦tte tempoet ned.
Hvad der tidligere var i rummet, understí¸tter det som kommer efter.

Oblivious to the cars, he sits before a secret horizon
Knowledge falls into a trap when it makes representations of space the basis for the study of life…

Han glemmer bilerne, mens han sidder foran en hemmelig horisont.
Kundskaben falder i en fí¦lde ní¥r den lader reprí¦sentationer af rum udgí¸re grundlaget for en undersí¸gelse af livet”¦

Sitting, they hold hands, a dog plays at their feet
The building effects a brutal condensation of social relationships.

De sidder og holder hinandens hí¦nder, en hund leger ved deres fí¸dder.
Bygningen forí¥rsager en brutal kondensering af sociale relationer.

Are you bothered by the smoke? he asked
Space is listened for, as much as seen, and heard before it comes into view.

Generer rí¸gen dig? spurgte han
Pladsen er lyttet til, lige som det er set, og hí¸rt inden du kan se det.

She crawls into his lap while he watches the birds on the water
Indeed the fleshy body is already in revolt.

Hun kryber op pí¥ hans skí¸d, mens han betragter fuglene pí¥ vandet.
Den kí¸delige krop er i den grad allerede i oprí¸r.

He draws patterns on the ground with the toe of his shoe
No space disappears in the course of growth and development: the worldwide does not abolish the local.

Han laver mí¸nstre pí¥ jorden med snuden af sin sko.
Intet rum forsvinder ved ví¦kst og udvikling: det globale afskaffer ikke det lokale.

He looks for someone to listen
A social space cannot be adequately accounted for either by nature or by its previous history.

Han ser efter nogen der vil lytte.
Man kan ikke udtí¸mmende gí¸re rede for et socialt rum, hverken v.hj.a. naturen eller dets historie.

She muses, the city always looks better from here
At one level of social space, concatenations of gestures are deployed.

Hun tí¦nker, byen ser altid bedre ud herfra.
Pí¥ et bestemt niveau i det sociale rum udfoldes sammenhí¦ngende gestik.

All she could hear were the bird songs
The individual situates her body in its own space and apprehends the space around the body.

Det eneste hun kunne hí¸re var fuglenes sang.
Det individuelle placerer hendes krop i dets eget rum og griber luften omkring kroppen.
