This 80-minute immersive experience traces a journey from Lausanne to Izmir. Enhanced by the music of Oren Ambarchi and Perila, it aims to give value and meaning to the all-too-human ruins of ambition, history, and language. This new “live” book format from Time Based Editions presents the audio and visual as two distinct elements, uniquely connected to the present through the physical synchronisation of our hands. Together, we immerse ourselves in the here and now of the page: photographs and prints come to life while a sound track guides and envelops us at the same time. Hampton’s painstaking and at times miraculous process of recomposition gradually reveals a constellation: voices and earthquakes, the Sephardic diaspora, tourism and forced migration, mental health, dementia, the end of the Ottoman Empire, swifts and swallows, T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, and a glimpse of the hidden atrocities perpetuated at the edges of Europe, now funded at its centre.
“Your understanding of what a book can be will change forever.”
