Lungs Open Lungs Close

Asher Danziger

Lungs Open Lungs Close is an excerpt from the multi-modal book entitled "The Retelling" that combines sound, video, still imagery and text to bring forth the inner dialogue that accompanied me on a sixteen hundred mile bicycle journey from Chicago to the Florida Keys. By using new forms to create a world that is vast enough to become self-referential, a deepening engagement with the narrative becomes experiencable.
