Iain Sinclair & Gareth Evans: The Gold Machine

Published: Dec. 22, 2021, 12:30 p.m.

b'Towards the end of the 19th century Iain Sinclair\\u2019s great-grandfather Arthur made an accident-prone and largely disastrous colonial expedition to Peru. In his latest book, accompanied by his daughter, Iain Sinclair abandons his familiar London territory to follow in his ancestor\\u2019s footsteps, perhaps also hoping to eclipse his shadow. What he finds makes harrowing but essential reading in a story of exploitation, colonialism and environmental devastation. Sinclair was in conversation about his journey with Gareth Evans, curator of film at the Whitechapel Gallery.
