The world passes through the tourist. The tour consumes us, not vice versa. Always a step ahead or a step behind, the tourist is never there exactly, never sees or hears or smells or touches the country or its inhabitants exactly, always experiences something other, something else— an illusion, an itinerary packaged, sold, administered like doses of a drug, unless, perhaps, we imagine a world in metaphors, making it up, making up ourselves as we travel, dream, tell stories.

Trigger: Zouk Love: a documentary film

Over the weekend Rayme and I began filming our documentary right here in NYC. It was very tiring but so much fun, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of so many amazing people!!
