Description
Derek Jarmanâ?Ts Blue weaves a sensory tapestry that serves as both a political call to action and a meditation on illness, dying, and love. â?oFor Blue there are no boundaries or solutions.â?? â?"Derek Jarman Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Derek Jarmanâ?Ts death due to an AIDS-related illness, Blue is a daring and powerful work of art. The film - and this highly-anticipated bookâ?Ts text - serve as iconoclastic responses to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis. Written poetically and surrealistically, Jarmanâ?Ts text moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical. Stories of quotidian lifeâ?"â?"getting coffee, reading the newspaper, and walking down the sidewalkâ?"â?"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 Charlesworthâ?Ts compelling introduction brings Blue into conversation with Jarmanâ?Ts visual paintings as never before.
