“I thought—I want to go home. I want to be in a place that feels like home. Where that was, I did not know.”
Katie Kitamura, Intimacies

“It is surprisingly easy to forget what you have witnesses, the horrifying image or the voice speaking the unspeakable, in order to exist in the world we must and we do forget, we live in a state of I know but I do not know.”
Katie Kitamura, Intimacies

“Interpretation can be profoundly disorienting, you can be so caught up in the minutiae of the act, in trying to maintain utmost fidelity to the words being spoken first by the subject and then by yourself, that you do not necessarily apprehend the sense of the sentences themselves: you literally do not know what you are saying. Language loses its meaning.”
Katie Kitamura, Intimacies
