c-site.4 : Distance

An anonymous interdisciplinary dialogue between 10 people on the topic of distance, conducted in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Within this dialogue, the identities of those participating have been hidden from one another, only to be revealed upon its conclusion. This is an instance of “distance”, a boundary creating a relationship between dialogue and theme. This dynamic can too be seen within the form of this book; just as these ten contributors speak back to back, the book is divided into two distinct halves placed back to back—their contrasting directionalities, vertical and horizontal, defining a physical boundary which separates them.
