Explores British director Steve McQueen's diverse output, from
video installations to independent cinema to Hollywood to the BBC
The first full book-length study of McQueen to be published in
English Investigates the landmark television series Small Axe, in
addition to his Hollywood films (Widows, 12 Years A Slave),
independent titles (Shame, Hunger) and gallery installations Draws
on multiple methods to explore this wide body of work, including
political contextualisation, textual analysis, institutional
studies and intertextual comparisons Working across a range of
formats, from video art and gallery installations to independent
cinema to Hollywood to the BBC, Steve McQueen's prodigious output
has been marked by formal ambition and political urgency. This
vital collection interrogates his body of work, its political,
aesthetic and institutional dimensions, and the interfaces between
them. It offers critical insights into McQueen's engagements with
race, gender, the body, love and pain, and his abiding
self-reflexive interest in the potential of multiple audio-visual
forms. The first director to win both the Turner Prize and an Oscar
for best picture, McQueen is probably the most important working
British film maker. This book explores the controversies as well as
the achievements in his stellar career so far.
