But Mr. Rosenquist does not concede that his work is based on meaningful images; he seems to use his juxtapositions in an abstract, random way to activate the great passages of space whose scale is derived from the billboards he once painted.
The melody line is special but the power of those stabs - and the way he utilises small passages of space - really stand out too".
I took them back to the changing area, which is just a narrow passage of wall space sectioned off by wood partitions.
"Hologram" flashes past in an appropriately quick series of brief, displacing passages with plenty of space around them for us to feel the vacancy and nowhereness; if Mailer attached himself to Hemingway in honor of the older writer's unabashed competitiveness and machismo, Eggers here is drawn more to the best thing in Hemingway, his style of clean lines and sharp edges.
The Soviet Union's 1957 Sputnik launching badly bruised the American psyche, for example, but Eisenhower subsequently won passage of a new space exploration agency, NASA.

The rhythm of walking measures our passage in space but also in words.
Some predictions of general relativity differ significantly from those of classical physics, especially concerning the passage of time, the geometry of space, the motion of bodies in free fall, and the propagation of light.
If they could, the climate would be far colder than it is today, because the passage of heat to outer space would not be stopped.
