GALATEA RESURRECTS, #7

Review Excerpt:

In Bermeo’s aesthetic cartography, the South Bronx becomes an unlocatable place—that is, a site of contesting representations. If no one knows where the South Bronx begins or ends, then its borders becomes determined by the “sweet recklessness” of our own individual mirrors.

Not only does Bermeo re-invent place, he also re-invents the self.
