📣 Book Release Announcement 📣 As our one living planet teeters upon its very axis, heavy munitions pound the Earth stomping out lives like falling forest trees. Up among the branches 🫀love🫀conquers all when we pursue its infinite variations actively and with intention. In this spirit my old pal the photographer Fabrizio Dal Vera and I share our studio shoot of How To Survive Secular Mysticism - a spiritual manifesto, by moi and now available on https://www.plural-studio.net/how-to-survive-secular-mysticism there is nothing in this book that you do not already know though you may have forgotten therefore soften your perspective as you engage these realities softness allows the future to be remembered into the present like brush lines in an act of creativity How To Survive Secular Mysticism is a fierce meditation on the cultural hijacking of mystical language and imagery. Alex Head’s swirling aesthetic sensibility and kaleidoscopic commentaries pull us through the subtle yet profound distinctions between lived spirituality and its secular simulacrum, demanding conscious intention and devotional presence amid ever-intensifying chaos.

 - Ferdiansyah Thajib, author of Enduring Otherwise 
 Dense and earnest, this is someone thinking seriously about finding transcendence through art, community, and presence rather than doctrine. ‘Secular mysticism’ numbs you, disorients you, and opens you to external control. Genuinely strange and original writing, somewhere between cultural criticism, spiritual autobiography, and conspiracy theory, held together by artistic intelligence.

 - Erin Honeycutt, pamphleteer Secular Mysticism includes but is not limited to: • Uninitiated or uneducated audiences exposed to religious ideas and icons such as the ‘all seeing eye’ • Drugs and alcohol consumed without intention • Social-media generated content consumed without consent • Trigger responses to environmental stimuli that confuse thoughts and feelings, opening a way in for fear and anger • Hypnotic sexual imagery such as the ‘Super-Hero’ Launch event in Berlin coming soon.
