Eleutheromania – an intense desire for freedom – an emotion we all feel to some extent, a wish for somewhere away from the normal hubbub of life. For some it lies in the past with memories they cling on to remembering; for some it is away in the future with a place, a destination, a state of mind they have not yet got to. For neither is it something here and now, present and tangible, and that is the definition of desire, to want something you either have never had or have no longer. The Eleutheromaniac and the Nostalgic is an evocative and personal exploration of this concept.
