2x mindblown and radicalized by re-reading ‘Ways of Seeing’ in BM. The translation embeds Berger’s incendiary view into the local consciouness. The publication should be a much bigger deal for Malaysian art than it currently is. Relative silence betrays just how compromised and deflated the scene is by fear, hype, elitism and commercial interests.

"Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.”

“What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportsmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.”
~ John Lubbock
