Passage, Accentuation, and Actuality are three core concepts for Emergency Room. Passage describes a movement, an action, and a transition face that holds a vast potential because everything is still open. The accentuation describes the capability to focus and point out – it is a disciplined gesture that pins down a time and space for the comment as an event. The actuality of the accentuation harbours the necessity of presence and contemporality.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

The word outleaps the world, and light is all.”
