The paper discusses the category of spatial situation – a specific experience of the human subject based on the concept of attentiveness, which is located in a specific geographic location, shares that location with a place accumulating heterochrony and is subject to the agency of matter. The term is considered in the light of Michel Foucault’s heterotopia, the return to materiality of Bjørnar Olsen and the culture of meaning and culture of presence of Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht.
