Inspired by the Text "The Poetics of Space", Gastón Bachelard

"How do secret cameras, cameras disappear, become places for an unforgettable past? Where and how do they find rest unforgettable and privileged situations? In what way do ephemeral shelters and occasional shelters sometimes receive, in our intimate reveries, values ​​that have no objective basis?

The house as an instrument of analysis for the human soul ".

Helped by this instrument, will not we find, in ourselves, dreaming in our simple house, grotto consolations? ... Not only our memories, but also our forgetfulness, are housed. Our unconscious is lodged. Our soul is a dwelling. And when we remember "the houses", of the "rooms" we learn to "dwell" in ourselves.

The house in the life of man supplants contingencies, multiplies his advice of continuity. Without it, man would be a scattered being. It sustains it through the storms of heaven and life. It is body and soul. It is the first abode of the human being before being thrown into the world. "

NIDOS = VERTEBRATES

SHELLS = INVERTEBRATES

 "The egg, the nest, the house, the homeland, the universe." Víctor Hugo

"One could almost say that it had taken its shape just as the snail takes the shape of its shell. It was his dwelling, his hole, his wrap ... it adhered to it in a way like the turtle to its shell. " Vlaminck Poliment.
