Peter Zumthor: Thinking architecture: The light and the landscape

Vedno sem si želel napisati knjigo o svetlobi, nič me ne spominja bolj na večnost, pravi Andrzej Stasiuk v svoji knjigi The World behind Dukla. Pojavi ali predmeti izginejo ali pa se ustavijo in uničijo pod njeno težo in ko jih pogledam in jih opišem, pravi on, je to zato ker odbijajo svetlobo, kajti oni jo oblikujejo in ji dajejo formo, ki smo jo sposobni razumeti.

I have always wanted to write a book about light. I can think of nothing that reminds me more of eternity, says Andrzej Stasiuk in his book The World behind Dukla. Events or objects stop or disappear or collapse under their own weight and when i look at them and describe them, he says, it is only because they refract light, because they shape it and give it a form that we are capable of understanding.
