About the Book
Vienna, City of Thoughts, a visual suite navigates an emigrant's search, returning to one's roots. As an unsettled history weighs heavily in the silence of a city's architecture one's approach to one's private "heimat" remains guarded and challenged. This book is not a judgement but a quiet celebration in the questioning of one's privileged past and a silent muse on those values critical to an understanding of place.
" This book brings itself together in order to break itself apart, expressing through its graceful inadequacy an inexpressible missing wholeness: the impossibility of picturing loss, mortality, and the entire sea of sublime and unutterable ideas, including what Maurice Blanchot called "the disaster", the holocaust."
