Viggo Mortensen presents "new contexts for old feelings, trusting the formation of sentences that may or may not take me anywhere" and the images that may or may not show us something we can see. Configurations of photographs and words captured near and far, shown clearly or hardly at all, in a continuing effort to trail lost memory and hold mirror shards to what we discard.

COMMENTS:
EXCERPTS FROM THE DISCUSSION THREAD AT VIGGO-WORKS MESSAGE BOARD
Jamp, Dec 08 2006,
It's interesting to notice that starting with Linger this book continues to reveal much about the author and photographer, again it is a very personal account. I look forward to sitting down with it and "lingering" over it with care to truly take in what VM reveals.
Cityladynyc, Dec 08 2006
Visually speaking, I find it quite revealing and very personal for Viggo. He seems to be revealing layers like an onion allowing us to see more and more with each photo and each book. This seems a continuation of Linger, almost an extrapolation of Linger and I haven't even carefully read the poetry and prose yet.
Angela, Dec 11 2006
(...)there is a big yellow red sun and we are on a journey through his lense. Abstracts juxtaposed by reflections in puddles by shells, toes, carcasses. Trees,buildings in foreign cities, Brigit, Libby and Minnie, gollies, Gray, little girls, monuments- angels without arms (who I understand totally by books' end) a shot by Lola, and places, places, wires, cracks, logs, decay, beautiful autumn trees, "emergency 2004", towards the end two images very overexposed as if they are "in the light" and then "kaitoke 3 2003" and "jul 2002" and the final "John 1995" the journeyman with his suitcase has arrived.
If you want mirth, buy another book. If you want one man's struggle with time passing and remembering life-- buy this now!
