In What Time Is It? visionary thinker John Berger and Turkish artist Selçuk Demirel came together on one final occasion to create this precious little volume.

This is a playful meditation on the illusory nature of time. Our perception of it assumes a uniform and ceaseless passing of hours, but Berger suggests that it is turbulent. It expands and contracts according to the intensity of the lived moment. In this beautiful essay in pictures, Berger posits the idea that by experiencing the extraordinary, we can defy time itself.

Illustrated throughout in full colour by Selçuk Demirel in his inventive style and introduced by Berger’s friend Maria Nadotti. This title completes a trilogy of illustrated books by Berger and Demirel, including Cataract (2011) and Smoke (2017).

‘What Time Is It? is only a hundred pages long, but the temptation to linger over each text and each image is extremely strong. It's a book that would be easy to return to over and over again as an anchor point for renewing reflection.’
