Description:

A book makes time into an object: this book is the slow unfolding of an experience in a foreign country. At first, the reader sees without understanding, a simple watching through oddly colored photographs. Then a narrative recapitulation, in the form of drawings and one-sided conversations in multiple languages, leads you to some dim understanding. How do photographs and drawings differ? How do the stories that they tell agree and disagree? How do we experience life: through words or through pictures?
