Mark Lewis's films are remarkable not only for their rich and
highly seductive qualities, but also for their extraordinary
ability to undermine those characteristics that define mainstream
and avant-garde cinema. Through subtle reference to classical
motifs and genres, Lewis draws parallels between the film and art
worlds and suggests that the evolution of film and technology are
intrinsically linked to other visual cultures. This book is
published to mark the completion of his most recent film, Rear
Projection, a major new piece commissioned by FACT (the Foundation
for Art and Creative Technology) in partnership with the British
Film Institute and Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo, Seville.
This new work documents a significant shift in Lewis's practice.
Glamorous locations and actors have been replaced with observations
of more everyday situations, actions and places. In Rear
Projection, Lewis has created a portrait of the actress Molly
Parker which is superimposed against the backdrop of a bleak,
Canadian landscape through the (now outmoded) method of back
projection. Featuring stills and location shots from a number of
Mark Lewis's recent films, this book also includes essays by
Philippe-Alain Michaud, Laura Mulvey and Michael Rush which place
Lewis's practice in a wider historical context and highlight a
number of artists and filmmakers who have influenced him.
