Asian Absences: Searching for Shangri-La

Asian Absences is the contemplative and lyrical narrative of a traveller whose sensory and spiritual journey takes him from Copenhagen to Eastern Asia. En route, he passes through a feverish India and an abandoned hospital for lepers, undertakes a hallucinogenic mountain pilgrimage with shamans in Kathmandu, embarks on an industrial oil tanker to Singapore, and examines the beautifully oddA" curiosities of Tokyo's metropolis, before arriving at his final destination, the elusive Tibetan city of Shangri-La.
