A prominent figure in Glasgow's vibrant art scene, Luke Fowler's
cinematic collages break down conventional approaches to
biographical and documentary filmmaking. Fowler's films have often
been linked to the British Free Cinema of the 1950s, and Fowler
likewise avoids didactic voice-over and narrative continuity in
favor of impressionistic sound and editing. However, Fowler moves
beyond simply referencing the work of his predecessors. Mercurially
applying the logic, aesthetics and politics of his subjects-who
include the composers/musicians Cornelius Cardew and L. Voag, and
the psychologist R.D. Laing-to the film he is making about them, he
creates atmospheric, sampled histories that reverberate with the
vitality of the people he studies. This is the first major
publication on Luke Fowler. It provides a comprehensive overview of
his artistic production, with color illustrations, an in-depth
discussion between Stuart Comer and the artist, and an essay by
Will Bradley.
