About
The book to accompany ‘Ways of Seeing’ will be Mr Palomar by Italo Calvino.
‘Mr Palomar’ was published in 1983. It comprises 27 short chapters in a 3 x 3 x 3 formation and concerns itself with philosophical observations of the world. The character Mr Palomar is on a quest to quantify complex phenomena in a search for fundamental truths on the nature of being.
Come and explore Calvino’s 3 main areas of observation:
visual experience anthropological and cultural phenomena, and the cosmos, time and infinity.
