The companion and the reply to the earlier inventory of objects: here the hundred entries are not things but allegories, and each is embodied by a person photographed and then written about. Where the objects offered the world as a catalogue of matter, the allegories offer it as a catalogue of meanings — Fire, Memory, Repetition, Water, Death — each attached to a face and a body, so that the abstraction is always given a person to carry it and the list is always at risk of becoming a story.
