YES

Yes I am political

I have views

I know about history

I turn to the history books when i don’t understand what the hell is going on in the world

I usually find answers, though it takes time

I get really annoyed at the way that we the people are constantly hoodwinked and lied to. In every country, on  every continent.

even if we are ‘sheep’ that is not reason for the powerful to abuse our trust like that!

why are we as a species so obsessed with money? why are we willing to kill and self harm endlessly even for the hope of money?

can we ever change?

well, even if you don’t know the answers to these questions, please enjoy the photo I have posted here of Guy Debord (right):Imageand maybe read THE SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE

Hi I'm The Art traveller. I'm a filmmaker, writer and art historian. The Art Traveller is my blog, where I write about travelling the world and looking at art. I'm interested in how the environment and history of a place affect how we see art. My work includes documentary film-making, short films and artists' video, often exploring historical events or places. My interest in art history and film led me, in 2016 to write "Art History for Filmmakers" published by Bloomsbury Press, a book exploring how filmmakers can and do use paintings from the past to inspire and create visual story telling.
