Le zen dans l'art chevaleresque du tir à l'arc, Eugen Herrigel

"This German philosopher (1884-1955) lived in Japan between 1924 and 1929 and was introduced to archery. This little book describes his experience, his teaching is that technique is nothing without mental disposition: the only interest of archery is the reinforcement of mental mechanisms allowing one to construct one's relationship to the world. What does this have to do with photography? This was Henri Cartier-Bresson's bedside book: mastering the technique to make it unconscious, forgetting oneself to succeed in hitting the target", says Marc Lenot.
