Praise from Anders Petersen and review by Ulrich Rüter (LFI Magazine)

First edition
Deceitful Reverence is an exceptional presentation of the meanders of the human internal transformation. Igor Pisuk leads the viewer through the painful process of getting out of alcohol addiction, discovering a new self, dealing with the surrounding reality, seeking the closeness of other man, and—finally—finding love. Everything is embellished with unusually suggestive photographs, showing human nature with no embarrassment. The process Pisuk went through was a specific therapy and directing the camera lens on himself was a substitute for alcohol. 'Photography let me express the chaos that was in my head, name different emotions and states, observe the accompanying loneliness, alienation, love, all kinds of fears and hopes,' says the author. As Anders Petersen writes: 'Everything is so beautiful: the photographs, the text, the different printings, the choice of paper, the personal layout and the very distinct design.' Ulrich Rüter adds: 'Thanks to the exceptionally free artwork, this very intimate approach has given rise to an unusual, but very convincing photo book.'
