It's almost as if I didn't find the project, but as if this project found me. This morning I started 'The Search', as readers of Marcel Proust's book 'In Search of Lost Time' call it. It's only 12 pages that I want to read every morning before anything else happens.
Okay, I'll start by making myself a coffee, but then I'm off.
By the evening, the book is already on my desk, the Mac pushed back. The book is too thick to slouch with. You have to sit down and put the book on a table.
To be precise, the book consists of three thick physical books. Each book contains further books.
I went straight into the book this morning. I like the style. The author is very detailed. Everything has a story, every thing, every person, and it is told in an epic way. The first-person narrator is melancholy, which also becomes clear very quickly.
I had the idea of translating images in the book into my own versions. The book literally invites you to do so. In the first few scenes, the author describes, among other things, his difficulties falling asleep.
But I also have a reading tour ahead of me that will last for months, which I would like to capture visually.
Who is reading with me?
