A panoramic collection of interviews and writings by an artist for whom language has always been a significant means of expression. Arranged chronologically, the texts reflect his thinking on photography, music, politics, nightlife, astronomy, spirituality and activism; the sources are as varied as their content, with statements and conversations that first appeared in exhibition catalogues sitting alongside social-media posts and song lyrics. Whether discussing his own work or drawing out the thoughts of others, he is a generous interlocutor, and the volume tracks his contribution to cultural criticism alongside the shifts of the past thirty years.
