Victor Burgin recalls some of the cities he has known in a way familiar to all who have traveled, by showing photographs and telling anecdotes. Some Cities gathers places and moments from a life route that the author has taken from the North of England to his recent home in northern California. Although it explores themes that are characteristic of Burgin_s earlier theoretical and visual works, Some Cities is a unique insight into the artist_s mind.
By far my favourite photography, art, theory, essayist book. It is so freeroaming, dense and layered. At times mind-blowing when it reveals the link between vision and language.
