Philosophy · Fiction · Consciousness · Identity
Art & Writing
as One Practice
A Dutch/Yugoslav multidisciplinary artist and author whose writing operates at the threshold between philosophy, visual art, and lived consciousness — treating the book not as commentary on art, but as an extension of it.
Tosha integrates his artworks directly into his books — not as illustrations but as material arguments: tangible manifestations of philosophical inquiry. The page becomes a spatial field; the sculpture becomes a sentence; the exhibition becomes a form of syntax.

The Assembler,
Disassembled
The Unedited Sessions of Andreas
An experimental work presented as a forensic dossier — documenting the psychological collapse of a creator who constructed a fictional persona to contain his own grief. Composed of recovered therapy transcripts, diary fragments, clinical observations, and schematic diagrams.
The reader is positioned as a detached observer or archivist, kept at clinical distance — where identity is treated not as truth to be discovered, but as infrastructure under audit.

Influenced by Beckett, Sebald, Bernhard, Borges, Nabokov

The Invention
of Andreas
A psychological thriller wrapped in philosophical investigation. The story centres on a man who, paralysed by his own history, methodically engineers a new persona named Andreas — crafting an entire biography, new memories, new tastes, a new way of walking. Identity treated as sculpture.
The tension builds when the invented Andreas begins to exhibit behaviours the protagonist never programmed. The mask begins to eat the face — raising the haunting question: if you pretend to be someone else long enough, who is actually doing the pretending?
The weight of identity · Erasure vs. creation · The mirror phase
Prose technique: the blur — sharp clarity dissolving into stream-of-consciousness

A Garden
for Orpheus
A philosophical exploration that merges art and philosophy to illuminate the hidden corridors of human consciousness. Probing the boundaries between the physical and the metaphysical — unveiling the unseen forces shaping our reality.
Each image by ZT Tosha is a fusion of artistic expression and deep contemplation, accompanied by narration that renders abstract concepts tangible. The book serves as both mirror and portal — reflecting our innermost thoughts while offering glimpses into uncharted territories of the psyche.
