APPENDIX 1: CONVERSATIONS or TALKING SHIT
The summer that’s already passed into autumn, is due to many voices – disparate yet entangled.
Some happened in an office, others over coffee or chaat, some were recorded, some got written down, others got forgotten but remembered again. Some of them did not seem important until they fell back into conversation long after. Yet, without these conversations nothing would have been possible. Nothing would have been written.
Most equal, only listed hierarchically by date – following conversations are documented by…
