September 11 remains unthinkable.
Beyond the modification of strategic relations and the concept of conflict, it is a space which exists like an a priori category of the perception that is dislocated.
Manhattan was not just a city among other cities, but THE city of the XX century. The city that configures space in general.
'Last Picture of Space' writes a trace of this moment. We see the city of the aftermath, the view of Manhattan from the film "West Side Story." We see the height of buildings, their relief. The WTC is a picture, flattened and without depth, a representation that we can dislocate.
