Spirit
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.

“Yet some can be patriotic who have no self-respect, and sacrifice the greater to the less. They love the soil which makes their graves, but have no sympathy for the spirit which may still animate their clay. Patriotism is a maggot in their heads.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray.”
