A story of dissemblance. The title derives from a Biblical quote, which beautifully expresses the perplexity of our condition: namely that we have to live, even though none of the reference points we get our bearings from really makes complete sense. I have used those images and ideas which interest me most - European history, cycling, physics, sitting in cafes - as metaphors for the ephemeral nature of this world, and also as metaphors for each other. I enjoy playing with the contradictions and confusions this generates, but also with the linkages which (to me at any rate) make some kind of sense of it all.
