“The familiar ‘now and here’ (also known as ‘nowhere’) might just as well be ‘now and there’. Since the subject moves around (in a space), there should be no doubt regarding our ability to orient ourselves not only in the near past and future, but also in the space we will enter in a moment - or that exists on a map of yesterday’s activities. (...) Our surroundings are organized to be moved in without necessarily just being ‘here’ or ‘there’ but rather with a sense of having come up from there, now being here, and soon being down there. (...) So how long is ‘now’ and where does ‘here’ end?”

- Olafur Eliasson, “The Weather Forecast and Now // 2001”. “The Sublime”, edited by Simon Morley, Whitechapel Gallery, 2010, p.123-4
