THERE I HAVE BEEN
Essay-Travelogue

This travelogue unfolds anecdotes, recollections, fantasies, documents and manifestos from travels across parts of the Kāverī delta and Central Java where the time-wheel is still manually turned through ritual, song and dance. Composed (in confidence for W.G.Sebald, 1944-2001) as 24 time-pieces, the essay revisits some (of the German writer’s) frequented themes: memories, histories, biographies, fictions and photographs.
