Interruptions is rooted in the tradition of contemporary ekphrastic writing, where an author creates a literary response in order to confront or narrate a work of visual art. Here, the photographer and writer engage in a dialogue between David Clarke's selections from his photographic archives and Xu Xi's essays written in response to each photo, which, in turn, triggers the next photographic choice.
