Product Overview
At once poetic and critical, cruel and confessional, internationally known French
artist Michel Auder's casually virtuosic videos have for over five decades disrupted
traditional perceptual habits of moviegoers and art audiences alike, subverting
notions of filmic narrative and process. Employing new video formats as they
become available, the New York based Auder has produced short and feature
films, video installations and photography that transgress genres, borrowing
from art history, literature, commercial television, and experimental cinema, and
was most recently featured at the 2014 Whitney Biennial. The richly illustrated
monograph/artist book includes Twenty Film-Poems for M. Auder, a series of
mini-essays on selected videos by Basel-based American poet and critic Quinn
Latimer, and an extensive interview with the artist by Kunsthalle Basel director
Adam Szymczyk, and a catalogue raisonn of Auder's video works. The unique
design, including a cut-out cover, creates an exciting visual experience while
viewing the rich contents.
