“I’m after what’s beyond thought.” – Clarice Lispector
“This series is guided with exquisite precision by the writings of the Brazilian author Clarice Lispector.
She has guided me to what I call the ‘I wish I had my camera’ moments in my life – moments of experiencing the essence of something before it is embodied in a word or image; moments ‘beyond thought’.
She found the words and I in turn have formed an image for her words.
I hope these images have done justice to the power of the
sensations at their source. And to Clarice Lispector.” – Josephine Sacabo
