David Thomson 'Models' 3rd-18th September 2010

“What speaks to us, seemingly, is always the big event, the untoward, the extra-ordinary: as if what speaks, what is significant is always abnormal… The daily newspapers talk of everything except the daily. 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 everyday: the banal, the quotidian, the obvious, the common, the ordinary, the infra-ordinary, the background noise, the habitual? To question the habitual. But that’s just it, we’re habituated to it. We don’t question it, it doesn’t question us… This is no longer even conditioning, it’s anaesthesia. We sleep through our lives in a dreamless sleep. But where is our life? Where is our body? Where is our space? How are we to speak of these ‘common things’, how to give them meaning, a tongue, to let them, finally, speak of what is, of what we are.”

- Georges Perec, ‘The Infra-Ordinary’, 1973
