Note
- "Throughout the collection, we have dispersed visual and textual provocations that have affinities with the adjacent essays. We call these interjections "zuihitsu," after a Japanese term that loosely translates as: "a miscellaneous essay," "literary jotting," or "musing." A kanji that is out of common usage for "zui" translates as: "at the mercy of (the waves)." The kanji currently in modern usage in Japan translates as: "follow." Hitsu means "writing or painting brush." Our zuihitsu's include original photography and excerpted texts from our own work, our contributors, and various public sources. They provide an unfinished "through line"-a lively and unsettled terrain composed of concepts, images, sensations and waves of realization that "make the geologic now."
