A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Postwar: The Films of Daniel Eisenberg is the first monograph on Eisenberg's work, with contributions from some of the most respected writers on contemporary film and media art and exclusive photography by Eisenberg himself. Eisenberg's major films are presented: Displaced Person, 1981, Cooperation of Parts, 1987, Persistence, 1997, and Something More Than Night, 2003, through newly commissioned essays by highly respected writers of contemporary film and media art, including Raymond Bellour, Nora Alter, Tom Gunning and Christa Blumlinger. This book represents the first survey of Eisenberg's work, placing it in the context of contemporary theory and experimental media practice. The contributors each focus on a specific film of Eisenberg's. In a playful and unconventional way the book mirrors the ways in which these films bring image and text into direct encounter with the physical experience of history, and how his poetic texts create a dialogue with images. Postwar offers Eisenberg's dense and critically rich films to a wide audience of filmmakers, scholars and students of history, art and media.

Revue de presse :

Postwar represents the first sustained critical engagement with Eisenberg's films - bringing together essays by Nora M. Alter, Leora Auslander, Raymond Bellour, Christa Blumlinger, Scott Durham, Tom Gunning, and the volume's editor, Jeffrey Skoller. --After Image
