Tacita Dean

Résumé du livre

"Tacita Dean's portrait of the poet and translator Michael Hamburger was filmed, at his home in rural Suffolk, in the last year of his life. Set against muted autumn colours, and with Hamburger performing an evocative, anecdotal inventory of the harvest from his apple orchard, the piece is a bittersweet reminder of time's passing that deftly captures, and quietly honours, an exemplary 20th century literary figure. Featuring a new essay by Brian Dillon, Dean's own notes on the making of the project, and a transcript of its central voiceover monologue, this publication looks back at the film, one that takes its place alongside a number of studies by Dean of other major creative and artistic figures, and one that remains one of her most enduring and affecting achievements." -- Film and Video Umbrella.
