"The body must open itself to space, must become, in a certain way, space. And interior space must acquire a texture similar to the one of the body so that gestures may flow as easily as movement propagating through muscles. The space of the body--as exterior space--satisfies this demand. The body moves in it without facing the obstacles of foreign, objective space--with all its objects it density, its prefixed orientations, its own points of reference. In the space of the body, it is the body that creates its own referents to which all exterior directions must submit themselves."
-José Gil, “The Paradoxical Body”
