“[…] phenomena may have a powerful presence in people’s lives precisely because of their absence […] The duality of absence and presence is contained within the confrontation with the incomplete: that which shows absence not as an entire existential emptiness, but as a defective continuity, something that is in need of completion or from which parts are missing.”
Mikkel Bille, Frida Hastrup, Tim Flohr Sørensen
