Self Published, 2012, First edition, 72 pp., 6¾x10¾", Accordion fold with obi Near fine+ Stijn is a young man of 23 years old. He was born blind and lives in a modest apartment som ewhere in the city. This is the only place in the world where he can move so freely. The table, the chairs, the kitchen and the bed aren't obstacles for him. On the contrary, while being part of his territory, they also guide him through it. He knows this space inside out. It may be small and limited, but Stijn is not. In fact it's quite the opposite.During the short winter days, there is a slow transition from twilight into total darkness in Stijn's apartment. The darker it gets, the harder it is for me to find my way around. Stijn has no burden of darkness. He doesn't need light and because of this, I leave the light for what it is. Show more
