Description
City Slivers And Fresh Kills: The Films Of Gordon Matta-Clark
Author/Editor: Steven Jenkins
CONTENTS
Renegade “Anarchitect” Gordon Matta-Clark is justly celebrated for his deconstructions of abandoned buildings and industrial structures, yet his film works are often overlooked. Through rarely published images and a quartet of imaginative essays, City Slivers and Fresh Kills establishes Matta-Clark’s films as perhaps his most surprising—and certainly his most visually arresting—body of work, characterized by the same creative provocation, rough aesthetic beauty and intellectual insight that informed all of the anarchitect’s famous cuttings, slicings and revelations.
