BOTTOM OF THE DRIFTLESS
Every time we visit places, we carry with us this burden of what has already been experienced and already seen. But the effort we are inclined to make, daily, is one of rediscovering a gaze that negates and forgets what we know and are used to – not so much in order to see afresh with different eyes, but rather of the need to orient ourselves anew in time and space.
