hotels
“Hotels fascinate me in thatThey’re incredibly intimate
Spaces that are scoured every
24hours and made to look
Completely anonymous.
people sleep in hotel rooms
and cry in hotel rooms and
bathe in hotel rooms and
have sex in hotel rooms and
start relationships in hotel
rooms and end relationships
in hotel rooms and etc and
etc, but yet every time we
check into a hotel room we
feel as if we’re the first guest
and we get upset
if there’s any remnant of a
previous guests stay.
something about this idea,
that these intimate spaces
are wiped clean
every 24 hours, fascinates
me. that we enter a hotel
room and it becomes our
biological home for a while
and then we leave.
in some ways its similar
to the human condition
we exist and we strive and
we love and we cry and we
laugh and we run around
and we sleep and we build
things and we have sex and
then we die and, not to
cound too depressing, the
world is wiped clean of our
biological presence, which,
from my perspective, makes
our brief biological time
here all the more precious
due to its relative brevity.
hotels, in specific, fascinate
me in that so much effort is
expended to maintain a
perfect neutrality.”
