Perec, G (1997) Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, trans. John Sturrock, Harmondsworth: Penguin, pp.205-7

• "What's really going on, what we're experiencing, the rest, all the rest, where is it? How should we take account of, question, describe what happens every day and recurs every day: the banal, the quotidian, the obvious, the common, the ordinary, the infra-ordinary, the background noise, the habituals?" (Perec 1997)
• "We sleep through our lives in a dreamless sleep. But where is our life? Where is our body? Where is our space?" (Perec 1997)
• "What we need to question is bricks, concrete, glass, our table manners, our utensils, our tools, the way we spend our time, our rhythms. To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us. We live, true. we breathe, true; we walk, we open doors, we go down staircases, we sit at a table in order to eat, we lie down on a bed in order to sleep. How? Where? When? Why?" (Perec 1997)
