"Jodorowsky's most recent project is Alejandro Jodorowsky. Art Sin Fin (Taschen), two volumes in which he reviews his career, almost as boundless as it is surreal. Curated by editor and academic Donatien Grau, director of contemporary programs at the Louvre, this monograph is a work of art in itself and a manifesto that captures Jodorowsky's kaleidoscopic, mysterious, and dreamlike creative spirit across all his universes, from film and theater to poetry and comics, by way of philosophy and tarot."
"It also includes a chapter on psychomagic, a non-scientific technique he created and practices that combines shamanism, tarot, psychoanalysis and dramaturgy, and which, he claims, serves to resolve psychological conflicts and heal the spirit. I find psychoanalysis amusing. I've read Freud, Fromm, JungI've studied them all, said Jodorowsky, recalling that as a young man he studied philosophy and psychology for two years at the University of Chile."
Alejandro Jodorowsky, born in Tocopilla, Chile in 1929, will turn 97 on February 17. He expresses a desire for more time, wishing to live 15 additional years to continue living pleasantly and sustaining creative activity.

Pascale Montandon, his wife and long-term collaborator who is 43 years younger, accompanies and notes these projects. A recent two-volume monograph, Alejandro Jodorowsky. Art Sin Fin (Taschen), curated by Donatien Grau, surveys his surreal, kaleidoscopic creative spirit across film, theater, poetry, comics, philosophy, tarot and psychomagic.
