Johan Grimonprez
|
|
ISBN 978-1-904270-25-6
PRICE £25.00
'Looking for Alfred' is a large-format 288-page book which documents the various elements, and stages, of Johan Grimonprez's project of the same name, which uses film, video and photography, as well as storyboards and other drawings by the artist, in an imaginative pursuit of the multi-faceted legacy of Alfred Hitchcock. The publication, lavishly illustrated throughout, features new essays by well-known writers and academics such as Tom McCarthy, Thomas Elsaesser and Patricia Allmer, and retraces the themes of the lookalike and the double that recur in Grimonprez's work, and are such a feature of Hitchcock's own oeuvre.

ISBN 0 95386 349 2
PRICE £9.95
In September 2001, the artist Graham Gussin undertook a journey to a place called Askja, in what is known as the 'lunar desert' of Iceland. As Gussin was traveling through this remote and featureless but strangely beautiful landscape, a remote viewer - an individual with paranormal abilities who has been trained to see over great distances - was asked to track his movements and pinpoint his location. This publication provides a further document of the project, featuring film stills, installation photographs, and other behind-the-scenes material.
Interview and discussion with Graham Gussin, Chris Darke and Steven Bode
