Bodies are not ‘full’, of filled space (space is always full): they are open space, that is to say in one sense, space that is properly spacious rather than spatial, or that which one could perhaps call place. Bodies are places of existence, and there is no existence without place, without there, without a ‘here’. The body-space is neither full, nor empty, there is no outside nor inside, any more than there are no parts, no totality, no functions, no finality.
Jean-Luc Nancy, philosopher 1992
