The 3L are that very path, which, as it goes forward, enjoys deforming, through its indisputable "zooming" power, the nature it crosses, stopping, suddenly wondering whether its route is not due merely to a secret yet incessant movement of that which it thought it was deforming. But for that matter what or who is moving, and when? What or who is stopped? And who is looking at whom?" Ivo Malec
