from Anthony Elms artist talk at ACRE

Juan Muñoz: “If you remove the furniture from a room, the room is loaded with that emptiness. It’s not an empty room, it is a room which is no longer occupied with what used to be there before. That’s a quality you cannot build from zero. You have first to build the house, then furnish the room, then take the things away.”
