The photomontage pieces that form the core of this project are
built around a repeating grid of 15 rectangles into which
photographs from a specific location are placed to form a playful
spirit or 'phantom' of place. Each phantom is from a different
location and each site chosen has personal resonances or relates to
the history of surrealism in Britain and Europe. The works are both
an interpretation of landscape and place as well as an opportunity
to explore the history of the surrealist movement in Britain and
how the idea of surrealism is often tied to landscape explored, not
for its picturesque or romantic aspects but for its psychological
and visionary resonance.
Pan's Labyrinth, Stranger than Fiction, The Science of Sleep...
Surreal and fantastic cinema is enjoying a resurgence. A movement
that goes back to the earliest days of cinema, it provides an
exemplary case study to introduce all sorts of concepts -- Auteur
study, representations, 'shocking cinema', textual analysis. Neil
Coombs' guide is ideal for students new to the field, providing an
explanation of the origins of Surrealism followed by detailed
analyses from the history of 'world cinema', including: Bu?uel's
The Phantom of Liberty, Svankmajer's Alice, Cocteau's Orph?e,
Lynch's Lost Highway, Jeunet & Caro's The City of Lost
Children, and the work of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Being John
Malkovich) and director David Cronenberg (A History of
Violence).
The Outsider (Patricide 6) is an investigation into the notion of
the Outsider Artist. Including essays from Roger Cardinal (author
of 'Outsider Art', 1972) and Michel Remy (author of 'Surrealism in
Britain', 2001) alongside articles by Outsider Artists (including
George Widener, Chris Hipkiss and Tony Convey) and those who have
worked with them.
