Concepts for the turn of a page, and the semblance of a story.
A fictionalised approximation of an actual, sudden loss.
Accompanied with soundtrack curated from a selection of old recordings: I saved up for a piano keyboard and cheap synth first thing after I left home in 1993. By way of a double-jack input splitter I recorded through a cheap ‘3 in 1’ hifi and hacked the double tape deck to mix and edit.

A travelogue of inward-looking observation
The title Hohlweltlehre references an elusive mythical notion - linked in the past to occult secret societies and conspiracies - that proposed the Earth as almost entirely hollow.
Hohlweltlehre also proposed the Earth’s surface as in fact underground and therefore the surface of the earth sitting upon its concave curvature.
Initially an attractive concept as analogy to a perception of the North American continent as increasingly culturally insular, this photo book serves as a series of personal reminders to the persistence and proliferation of human diversities regardless, and as experienced throughout travels within that continent.
