Tekst achterflap

This book overturns the truism that people carry objects to places. Instead, it asks how objects transport people - physically, imaginatively, and emotionally - to spaces and worlds beyond their immediate reach. It explores artworks as maps of imagined journeys or as worlds inviting inner exploration, grounded in 'deep travel' or psychogeography. Centered on Shanxi, China - a cultural crossroads known as West of Mountains - the book examines pivotal works that model these journeys. Highlights include China
