Things are inert: they have meaning only in function of the life that makes use of them. When that life ends, the things change even though they remain the same. They are there and yet not there: tangible ghosts, condemned to survive in a world they no longer belong to...standing there not as objects but as remnants of thought, of consciousness, emblems of the solitude in which a man comes to make decisions about.
