What begins as the record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia becomes the great, constellated story of people and cultures past and present: of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, of fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms.

The term shuttles between describing embodied practice of immersion in an environment, and indicating representational strategies for looking at an environment.
