Book excerpt: From the author of Ice Diaries, winner of the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival Grand Prize, praised by the New York Times as “stunningly written” and a Guardian Best Book of 2018. An unflinching exploration of love and boundaries in Brexit-crazed London. Richard Cottar is a respected independent film writer and director; his wife, Joanna, is his increasingly successful and wealthy producer. Together they are about to embark on a film about the life of Walter Benjamin, the German Jewish intellectual who killed himself in northern Spain while on the run from the Nazis in 1940. In what looks set to be the last year of Britain’s membership of the European Union, Benjamin’s story of exile and statelessness is more relevant than ever. But Richard and Joanna’s symbiotic life takes a sudden turn when they cast an intelligent, sexually ambiguous young actor in the role of Walter Benjamin. In a climate of fear and a bizarre, superheated year redolent of sex and hidden desire, Richard and Joanna must confront their relationship, Benjamin’s tragic history, and the future of their country. Taking its cue from Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Day for Night is an unsettling, riveting story of reversals — of gender, power, and history.

Download or read book Day for Night written by Frederick Reiken and published by Reagan Arthur Books. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you look hard enough into the history of anything, you will discover things that seem to be connected but are not." So claims a character in Frederick Reiken's wonderful, surprising novel, which seems in fact to be determined to prove just the opposite. How else to explain the threads that link a middle-aged woman on vacation in Florida with a rock and roll singer visiting her comatose brother in Utah, where he's been transported after a motorcycle injury in Israel, where he works with a man whose long-lost mother, in a retirement community in New Jersey, recognizes him in a televised report about an Israeli-Palestinian skirmish? And that's not the half of it. In Day For Night, critically acclaimed writer Frederick Reiken spins an unlikely and yet utterly convincing story about people lost and found. They are all refugees from their own lives or history's cruelties, and yet they wind up linked to each other in compelling and unpredictable ways that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Download or read book Richard Learoyd written by and published by Aperture. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deluxe, oversized monograph offers the most comprehensive collection of Richard Learoyds color studio images to datemostly portraits, but also including a handful of exquisite still lifes. The color images are made with one of the most antiquarian of photographic processes: the camera obscura, literally translated from Latin as dark room. Learoyd has created a room-sized camera in which the Cibachrome photographic paper is exposed. The subject is in the adjacent room, separated by a lens. Light falling on the subject is directly focused onto the photographic paper without an interposing film negative. The result is an entirely grainless image. The overall sense of these larger-than-life images redefines the photographic illusion. Learoyds subjects, composed simply and directly, are described with the thinnest plane of focus, recreating and exaggerating the way that the human eye perceives not without a small acknowledgment to the paintings of the Dutch Masters. The 150 images in this volume have been reproduced with utmost care to capture the luminosity of the original materials. Includes an artist statement by Learoyd and curatorial statement by Martin Barnes, who is organizing the first solo exhibition of the artists work at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Download or read book Night Becomes Day written by Richard McGuire and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La notte diventa giorno, e il giorno diventa luce. La luce diventa sole, e il sole comincia a splendere. Lo splendore diventa bagliore, e il bagliore diventa ruscello. Il ruscello diventa fiume... (dal testo) "La notte diventa giorno" è un viaggio poetico nel cambiamento, in cui oggetti e sensazioni si plasmano uno nell'altro seguendo l'ordine ciclico della natura, in un'atmosfera sospesa fra l'alba e il tramonto di un giorno qualunque. L'alternarsi di notte e giorno è infatti il modello per una catena di metamorfosi che coinvolge situazioni e oggetti quotidiani, spesso di confine fra il mondo naturale e quello tipico dell'uomo, fino al ritorno finale al punto di partenza. Nello stile essenziale di Richard McGuire, le trasformazioni sono vivaci e personali, immaginate secondo la logica dei sogni e sempre immediate e riconoscibili da tutti, bambini e adulti. Le illustrazioni privilegiano tinte forti e definite, dai contrasti netti e con poche sfumature, mentre i contorni lineari degli oggetti e delle persone accompagnano graficamente la musicalità del testo, ricreando il senso di costante movimento che fa da sottofondo all'intero libro.
