專家說明

I don't believe that a bigger object is more powerful than a smaller one. I don't think that size is all that matters, because there's also the effect of time, especially when we analyze a small gesture, like a wisp of breath on a piano, that can have a stronger impact on our memory than a skyscraper ever could. I think the smallest gestures that we make in our lives can have much greater repercussions than some things we might consider to be more forceful. You can say the same thing about your house: maybe there's a hotel that you only stayed at once, but the memory of that hotel could be much more important to you than the house where you've lived for years'
(G. Orozco, quoted in C. Boullosa, 'Gabriel Orozco', in BOMB Magazine, Issue 98, Winter 2007).
