One overcast weekend in October 1974, Georges Perec set out in quest of the "infraordinary": the humdrum, the non-event, the everyday--"what happens," as he put it, "when nothing happens." His choice of locale was Place Saint-Sulpice, where, ensconced behind first one cafe window, then another, he spent three days recording everything to pass through his field of vision: the people walking by; the buses and driving-school cars caught in their routes; the pigeons moving suddenly en masse; a wedding (and then a funeral) at the church in the center of the square; the signs, symbols and slogans littering everything; and the darkness that finally absorbs it all. In An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris , Perec compiled a melancholic, slightly eerie and oddly touching document in which existence boils down to rhythm, writing turns into time and the line between the empirical and the surreal grows surprisingly thin.

今天的遊客還會是昨天的遊客嗎?
評分感覺可以在自己傢周圍做一次這樣的寫作練習
評分有一種人們由咖啡館走齣 四散開來 又鑽進各自生活裏去的隔離感 天陰沉 白天下著細密的雨 傍晚五點多已經看不清窗外行人的臉 街燈逐盞地亮起 街道總是濕漉漉的 時間一點點將人經過的痕跡抹去 說不清今天見到人是否昨天也見過 卻知道今天廣場上的鴿子昨天也來過
評分耗盡巴黎某處的一次嘗試,輕而易舉的介入,窮舉式的類型學把存在變成夢幻泡影,真實/虛構的消解是副産品。 (BGM:https://music.douban.com/subject/34975171/)
