Sobre IBD

Recalling years of careful study into the phenomenon of glossolalia or speaking in tongues, an anthropologist acquires the ability to transubstantiate and travel from one glossolalist to another, hundreds of miles apart. He sees the world from the vantage of the mouth and takes possession of the world as the tongue would have it. Employing a mechanism that can be made from almost any scraps and remainders of human industry, the tongue-traveller repeatedly de-materialises and materialises around the world, a victim to his invention, and a conduit for the last remnants of a disturbed and pinched quest for understanding.
