Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is a literary assassination of Christianity by the 'philosopher with a hammer' at the height of his power, vitriol, and some say, madness. Soon after completing The Antichrist, Nietzsche collapsed and never fully recovered, dying two years later. Negating not only the Bible and its teachings but also reinforcing Nietzsce's insistence on man's survival by the Will to Power, these words a century on still hammer home the devastating, uneluctable message: God is dead! Includes the previously untranslated Fragments From a Shattered Mind. Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Antichrist" might be more aptly named "The Antichristian," for it is an unmitigated attack on Christianity that Nietzsche makes within the text instead of an exposition on evil or Satan as the title might suggest. In "The Antichrist," Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of ones religious or philosophical point of view, "The Antichrist" makes for an engaging philosophical discourse.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Surrealist cinema, as epitomised by Un Chien Andalou and L'Age D'Or, was a knife through the very heart of the establishment - a scorpionic, scatological black joke galvanised by the irrational, the uncanny and the spectre of de Sade. Author Robert Short revisits these two seminal films and documents the experimental cinematic theories of Antonin Artaud and the filming of his Surrealist scenario The Seashell and the Clergyman. Short also looks at the work of Hans Richter, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Spiralling out of the Surrealist movement alongside the art, photography and manifestos, were a number of experimental films, notably Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou "and "L'Age d'Or." "The Age of Gold "revisits these two seminal films and explores their making, themes and images, the scandal and riots that accompanied their release, and their impact and influence on modern-day cinema. Fully illustrated throughout, "The Age of Gold "also documents the cinematic theories of Antonin Artaud and traces the parallels in avant-garde and Dadaist film-including the work of Hans Richter, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Robert Short is a lecturer at the -University of East Anglia, England. Previous publications include "Hans Bellmer, Surrealism: Permanent Revelation "and "Dada & Surrealism."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Gilbert and George are perhaps the world's most enduring and controversial artist duo, and the first to transform themselves into a permanent, living work of art. Incorporating their lives, fears, desires, and beliefs into their oeuvre, Gilbert and George - with their almost alarming formality and raucous use of colour - have been alternately celebrated as frank observers of the human condition and accused of reactionary posturing, obscenity, and profanity. From their gallery-based video art to their film The World of Gilbert & George, and from the many documentaries in which they perform as themselves to their recent emergence into the world of social media and other alternative spaces of display, Genteel Perversion exposes the volatile collision of living art and moving image that were, are, and will be Gilbert and George. Traces Gilbert and George's trajectory from London art students to major international artists through the lens of their relationship with the moving image. This book reveals how their signature pieces - such as Bend It dance, Red Sculpture, and short film Gordon's Makes Us Drunk - allowed them to reinvent and reinforce their identity on camera.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Much of contemporary visual culture can be traced directly to the work of Eadweard Muybridge, photographer and film pioneer. In Muybridge: The Eye In Motion, Stephen Barber analyses Muybridges prodigious output principally through the photographers own scrapbook, a multi-dimensional and unprecedented memory-book that was created in the final years of his life. Based on this extensive primary research into Muybridges personal archive, this innovative and ground-breaking book illuminates both the preoccupations behind his influence on twentieth-century artists like Francis Bacon, his role in the origins of cinema, and his early prefiguring of the digital world. The result is an authoritative and original look at the man, his body of work, and his influence. Muybridges work was powered by an extreme obsessiveness and excess that enabled him to negate all preconceptions of art and to reconceptualize the dynamics of corporeal and urban forms. Above all, Muybridge envisioned the future of cinema by creating a moving-image projectorthe zoopraxiscopeand by constructing the first identifiably cinematic space to project his compositions for an audience. Intended for readers and students of film and art history, Muybridge: The Eye In Motion is the first-ever study focused directly on the relevance of Muybridges work for contemporary digital cultures. Complete with striking illustrations and outstanding reproductions of archival photographs, Barbers book is the most comprehensive and fully-researched account of Muybridges contribution to the origins of film and the best new history of visual culture in years.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Built in 1898 to treat victims of tuberculosis from the fast-expanding and overcrowded German capital, the vast sanatorium-turned-military hospital of Beelitz Heilstaeetten outside of Berlin is now a site of compulsive, obsessive pilgrimage for urban explorers and photographers, ghost hunters, and intrepid pornographers.In The Phantom Sanatorium, over sixty full-color photographs and an accompanying exploratory text by Catherine Lupton capture glimpses of the eerie abandoned spaces and derelict splendor of Beelitz Heilstaeetten. Everywhere inside, from its peeling wards, echoing corridors, and disintegrating stairways that lead to nowhere to the famous bathhouse and gymnasium, there is evidence of the inexorable power of decayin full color. Lupton illuminates the dark and fascinating history of Beelitz Heilstaeetten and its famous and notorious residents. When it was a military hospital during the First World War, Adolf Hitler was among the many wounded soldiers who recuperated there. And after the Second World War, Soviet occupation forces turned it into a forbidden zone that housed the main hospital for Soviet troops and GDR politicians. As Soviet authority collapsed in 1989, the hospital was terrorized by serial killer Wolfgang Schmidt, "The Beast of Beelitz," who draped his victims corpses in pink lingerie. Its last famous convalescent, in 1990, was the deposed East German leader Erich Honecker. Continually informed by the fascinating and macabre history of these halls, Luptons visual and textual explorations form a new modus for resurrecting the most derelict, accursed, and haunted hospitals and madhouses of Europe. Built in 1898 to treat victims of tuberculosis from the German capital, the sanatorium-turned-military-hospital of Beelitz Heilstatten outside of Berlin is now a site of pilgrimage for photographers, ghost hunters, and intrepid pornographers. This book features photographs that capture the derelict splendor of Beelitz Heilstatten.
