An overview of John Stezaker's film still collages, this book
showcases the evolution of the artist's relationship with a
specific material. Leading British collage and appropriation artist
John Stezaker began his ongoing series of film still collages in
1979 - the result of a period that marked a crucial change in the
direction of the artist's work, which had previously been centered
around a text-based 'conceptualism'. The series moves with
Stezaker's changing interests, using stills from classic
American-period Hitchcock films as raw material before shifting
towards the undistinguishable mass of 1940s and early 1950s
low-budget studio films. Featuring collages based on a combination
of film still excisions and superimpositions, this ongoing series
is catalogued comprehensively for the first time in this volume,
which brings together Stezaker's earliest film still collages with
his most recent. Full-colour illustrations are accompanied by an
essay by David Campany and a conversation between the critic and
the artist. John Stezaker (b.1949, Worcester) is one of the leading
artists in contemporary photographic collage and appropriation.
Employing vintage photographs, old Hollywood film stills, travel
postcards and other printed matter, Stezaker creates small-format
collages that bear qualities of Surrealism, Dada and found art.
Stezaker studied at the Slade School of Art and has taught at the
Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins School of Art,
London. In 2012 he was awarded the Deutsche Boerse photography
prize following a retrospective at the Whitechapel Gallery, London.
His work has been exhibited internationally since the 1990s and is
held in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los
Angeles County Museum of Art; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Arts
Council England; and Tate.
