500 $aIllustrated by Tacita Dean.
520 $aA woman travels to seven 'invisible' countries, and from the moment of arrival is surprised, challenged, disturbed by what she discovers. In the brightly coloured and somewhat sinister world conjured by American novelist Sylvia Brownrigg, what is standard -- passing through customs, checking in to a hotel, pronouncing words in a foreign language -- becomes fraught; the traveller's urge to escape and seek adventure vies with her sense of melancholy and anxiety at feeling unmoored. Brownrigg explores border-crossing, cultural misunderstanding, touristic voyeurism and naïveté, as her visitor attempts to navigate the environments she encounters. Accompanying the text are images by the celebrated British artist Tacita Dean which extend the traveller's journeys into spheres that turn almost uncanny in their combination of abstraction and realistic detail.
