A message from Borges



"In the pleasant course of our residence on earth, María Kodama and I have traveled and savored many regions, and they have suggested many photographs and many pages of text. (...poet Alberto) Girri observed that they could be interwoven into a prudently chaotic book. Here is that book. It does not consist of series of texts illustrated by photograps or a series of photographs explained by texts. Each section embodies a union of words and images. (...) María Kodama and I have shared the joy and surprise of finding sounds, languages, twilights, cities, gardens and people, all of them distinctly different and unique. These pages would wish to be a monument to that long adventure that still goes on."
