PETER TSCHERKASSKY
Alexander Howarth and Michael Loebenstein (eds)
The films of Peter Tscherkassky have played a central role in the reawakening of interest in avant-garde film. His work has run a course from anarchic Super-8 filmmaking through the influence of psychoanalysis and semiotics to an engagement with the physicality of the medium and its potential to overwhelm the audience in the digital age. This first book on the artist contains essays about – and by – Tscherkassky, and numerous colour and b&w photographs and frame enlargements published here for the first time.

‘Sharply edited by Alexander Horwarth, film critic and director of the Austrian Film Museum and Michael Loebenstein, Peter Tscherkassky is an incredibly handsome book that provides a substantial insight into the artist’s films, his working process and his history… A thorough and intellectually satisfying engagement with the filmmaker and his work’
