The Four Agreements
by Don Miguel Ruiz
This is not an art book – not at all. This is a book about Tolcec wisdom. It is, however, relevant when it comes to seeing/percieving/interpreting and understanding the world around us. It helps us to understand that our perception is a construct that can be dissolved and rebuilt.
This book is really useful, both when it comes to understanding yourself and your perception, but also when it comes to looking at art, read literature – or whatever else that needs a bit of analysing.

Ways of Seeing
by John Berger
This is the book who’s had the most influence on my own way of looking at photography, specifically. It has helped me expand my own ideas on vision, both for analyzing photography (and art) and for practical, real life matters.

This is me, sharing my fascination with the grotesque, the macabre, the disfigured, the ugly and the dark – mainly in art and literature, but I might quite possibly also indulge into the twists of the human mind.
Feel free to read, share and comment – I appreciate it.
