EN: The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen. Why do we sit so close? Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first, when they were still new, still fresh, before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us.

CN: 你会发现这些人总是坐在尽可能靠近银幕的地方，我们为什么坐得这么近呢？可能是因为我们想最先看到电影的画面，当它们还很新，才刚出来的时候，在它们穿过我们背后的一排排座位之前，在它们传到我们背后的一排排观众之前，一排又一排的过去，直到它们变得不那么新鲜，最后只有一张邮票大小，回到放映员的小屋里。
EN: I was noticing that the more you look at everything… this table, the objects on it, the refrigerator, this room… your nose, the world… Suddenly… you realise that… there's some sort of cosmic harmony… of shapes and sizes. I was just wondering why. I don't know why that is. I know that it is.
