Will always retweet this book

billions must read

Berger and Tilda Swinton are seen clearing snow off the blue van in The Seasons in Quincy (2016).

Today the house serves as a studio for his son, painter Yves Berger.

Writing a book on voyeurism. Thinking about John Berger. Getting emotional seeing a street view image of Berger's home in Quincy, France, from 2008, a decade before he died. Getting emotional seeing the flowers he hung from the balcony, and the small blue van he drove.

@Celestemarcus3 You might really enjoy this: paris1970.jeantho.eu/index.html in 1970, the city of Paris open-sourced a project to photograph the city. 7,000+ photographers were assigned quadrants of the city to capture. All of them digitized here! Crazy to see the way my street used to look.

you can download a whole book of Atget's photography for free from internet archive archive.org/details/atget-…

A huge shout out to @benlibman for interviewing me and asking such great questions. You can find the interview on his Substack: theunnamable.substack.com/p/interview-ja…

People complaining, but it's extremely plausible that a movie about a torontonian who moves to mtl would take place entirely between st. viateur and av des pins, and the two parks

@RockPlaza @TobiasvRyan @MinorLits Good catch. Should be “essays on or defences of…”

@TobiasvRyan @MinorLits @benlibman Just to clarify, there's not a comma missing here, is there? "We are not interested in essays or defences of copyright." Like, you're still interested in essays? Just not in defence of copyright?
