Jananne Al-Ani's haunting, delicately honed work in video and photography is distinguished by its evocative portraits and its intimate and compelling narratives.
This publication is the first monographic survey of Jananne Al-Ani's work highlighting video installations from 1996 onwards while referencing a selection of earlier photographic pieces. With the aid of two newly commissioned essays and an interview with the artist, the book traces themes and preoccupations that have persisted over that time and which continue to reverberate throughout this highly inventive and distinctive body of work.
Claire Doherty's text The Triumph of Echo explores tragedy in theatre, film and art, while Angela Weight examines the development of the artist's concerns from her earlier photographic work to her most recent video installations. Richard Hylton's interview grants a rare insight into the way Al-Ani's practice negotiates the problematic legacies of Orientalism.

'Childhood's End' documents the conception and execution of the film installation of the same name by artists Mathew Cornford and David Cross. With the assistance of a military fighter jet (to which a film camera was attached) piloted by a retired Air Vice-Marshal, Cornford & Cross produced a film of the jet describing an 'anarchy' symbol in the skies above Cranfield airbase in Bedfordshire. This large format publication, illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs, includes an extensive interview with the artists about the piece and its relation to their earlier projects.

Decoy consists of a series of digital paintings in which subtly evolving fractal landscapes are combined with photographic images of the views of the grounds of various National Trust properties. This book reflects on the politics of landscape, construction and ownership and draws heavily on works by painters such as Gainsborough and Poussin as well as the landscape designers Humphrey Repton and 'Capability' Brown.

A record of a long-running visual arts project that took place at venues across the east of England between 2004 and 2007, Silicon Fen considers how landscape in general (and the East Anglian landscape in particular) has been both affected and reflected by technology. Immersing themselves in the distinctive history and topography of the region, whose remote, almost desolate vistas belie the complex nature of its substantially man-made environment, the participating artists (Suky Best, Susan Collins, Dalziel + Scullion, Annabel Howland, Stephen Hughes and TNWK) contribute works that capture the unique character of the Fenland landscape and whose facility with digital forms of image-making brings their subject into sharper focus.
