The film - and this highly-anticipated book’s text - serve as iconoclastic responses to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis. Written poetically and surrealistically, Jarman’s text moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical. Stories of quotidian life––getting coffee, reading the newspaper, and walking down the sidewalk––escalate to visions of Marco Polo, the Taj Mahal, or blue fighting yellow. Facing death and a cascade of pills, Jarman presents his illness in delirium and metaphors. He contemplates the physicality of emotions in lyrical prose as he grounds this story in the constant return to Blue - a color, a feeling, a funk. Michael Charlesworth’s compelling introduction brings Blue into conversation with Jarman’s visual paintings as never before.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 178mmItem Length: 108mmItem Weight: 60gAuthor: Derek JarmanContributor: Michael Charlesworth (Introduction by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyTopic: Literary CriticismBook Series: EkphrasisRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
