In 2011, Teju Cole experienced a period of temporary blindness. Afterward, the question of seeing was redefined, and he began this photographic project. The images in his new book are documents of years spent on the move: the shadow of a tree in Upstate New York, a young stranger in the Congo, a strange constellation in a Berlin park. We see what he saw, what sparked his thoughts, while short texts overlay the images like a voice-over - an inner voice, concrete or abstract, prosaic or enigmatic. More than 150 photographs and texts come together to form a lyrical visual essay that reveals something visible that the eye cannot grasp.
