‘The Mojave dessert. Endless rows of semi-circular mirrors slowly revolve, reflecting their surroundings. A man’s voice is heard, his tone that of a particular kind of American cinema; introspective and mythic, meandering and omniscient. But his words are not a generic narrative. Rather, they are a composite of stories told by local people projecting imagined truths onto the strange machines.’ (RB)
