Description
Elseworlds observes everyday moments — the mundane and the enlightening — through conversation, story and daydream. Whether a preoccupation with time and the nature of memory, a coming to terms with failed relationships, reflections on the haunting presence of departed loved ones, or the intermittent desire to escape into another world altogether, Berkhout's wry humour and honest voice resonate beyond the personal in these meditations on life and loss.
