LEBBEUS WOODS
EINSTEIN TOMB, 1980
“The tomb is a vessel journeying outward on a beam of light emitted from earth, following an immense and subtle arc through the stars. For eons it will inhabit the dominions of space, until in a distant time it must return to the world of its beginning. Thus a cycle the epicycle of Space and Time will close. On that remotest day the dark corridors of the infinite will again become thresholds for departure, fading shores on the dark gulf of eternity.
The form of the tomb has always been known; it existed as a sign in ancient codices, on countless maps of exploration.”
