Description
Nothing Special, 1982
”You are walking up stairs. You are walking down a lead lined hallway. There is a lead door. you open the door. You enter a dark room. It is very quiet. You feel the presence of silence. You sit on the floor. As your eyes adapt, the room seems to gradually fill with light from the bottom upward. The light stops about five feet up. The room gets brighter. It is a room of quietude and light.”
-Eric Orr (1982)
