"Having been born in Windhoek in 1951, [Jacobson] left South West Africa in 1971. He only returned in August 2003 to an independent Namibia intending to repeat the rite of passage for his generation, to drive on route B1/B2 from Windhoek to Swakopmund and back. A road trip into the Namib Desert. ... [His] resolve never to use personal history as source material for his work unravelled. Objects, images, and texts from his past combine with images taken on his 'prodical' journey, in montages, vitrines and 'narratives'"--Last p.
