Colin Aherne - As Now Is
Wandering around Hanoi for five weeks, looking for something but not really sure what. Maybe 500 km walked and nothing. Up the mountain and down the mountain and up the mountain and down the mountain. Talking and talking and drinking and talking, landscape 12, portrait 14, on a loop, awake > sleep > awake.
A man who fought in the war for 9 years and somehow didn’t die, small fires burning everywhere that disappear by themselves, dreams of the drill next door coming through the wall and through my head. Maybe U. was right, maybe I am too soft for Hanoi, for Vietnam. “See you soon?.........see you tomorrow.” When you wake up, you’ll be somewhere else.
