Title: Primer for Cadavers
Author: Atkins, Ed
ISBN: 9781910695210
Publisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions
Published: 2018
Binding: Quality
Language: English
Condition: New
Fiction 1209162
Publisher Description:
One of the most widely celebrated artists of his generation, Ed Atkins makes videos, draws, and writes, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world -- from computer generated imagery to bathetic poetry -- are hysterically rehearsed. A Primer for Cadavers, a startlingly original first collection, brings together a selection of his texts from 2010 to 2016. 'Part prose-poetry, part theatrical direction, part script-work, part dream-work, ' writes Joe Luna in his afterword, 'Atkins' texts present something as fantastic and commonplace as the record of a creation, the diary of a writer glued to the screen of their own production, an elegiac, erotic Frankenstein for the twenty-first century.'
