In Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, Marco Polo tells a series of stories from his travels to Kublai Khan. Each story describes a different fantastical and impossible city, each story perfect in it's completeness. As the tale develops, it becomes a way for Polo to discuss, at such a distance, his own home city of Venice.
Ever since I first read it, I've been making works for a companion visual piece. There has been about six different versions of this. These are some notes for the latest version, which will be discarded along with the rest.
