Wherever Teju Cole has traveled, he has taken pictures. While a previous collection of essays has included examples of his visual aesthetic, this latest title, Blind Spot, is the first to be given over completely to his photography and includes over 150 images from his extensive travels both domestic and international. Less travelogue than metaphysical commentary into the uniquely experienced miracle of sight, each arresting image is accompanied by brilliant text that illuminates the collective ever-a-step-behind desire to more fully comprehend that which we’ve just seen.
