Oceanus
This is a pocket book, good for bringing along on a sea journey. This imagetext tries to evoke the feeling of a bewildered traveling. The words are awkwardly placed, and clearly out of their element. Still they continue on, going somewhere. The goddess whispers. The sea of the book is composed of two photographs I found in a family album lost in an archive. Here again, as in Two of us, the number two breaks off into the infinite. The text cuts through Samuel Butler’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey.
