“We can now see how, if to expose a problem is to pose a problem, then the problem you expose is not revealed. The exposure becomes the problem. It is not surprising then that those who don’t come up against walls experience those who talk about walls as wall makers. (…) This means that what is real, what is in concrete terms the hardest, is not always available as an object that can be perceived (from some viewing points), or an object that can be touched (even by those who are seated at the same table). What is the hardest for some does not even exist for others.” Brick Walls, in: Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life, Duke University Press, 2017, pp. 141.
