“The room accommodates and thereby eliminates from human attention the human body: the simple triad of floor, chair, bed ... makes spatially and therefore steadily visible the collection of postures and positions the body moves in and out of, objectifies the three locations within the body that most frequently hold the body’s weight, objectifies its need continually to shift within itself the locus of its weight, objectifies, finally, its need to become wholly forgetful of its weight, to move weightlessly into a larger mindfullness,” (Elaine Scarry, The Body in Pain).
