Artist & filmmaker, Philippe Parreno, who created the documentary, Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, takes us in Drift on a unique voyage through London
- a journey without the typical purposes of a journey, an artistic, psychogeographical path
- part of a series of twelve books tied to the twelve lines of the London Underground, as Tfl celebrates 150 years of the Tube with Penguin. It is also available in a boxset. ” Authors include the masterly John Lanchester, the children of Kids Company, comic John O` Farrell & social geographer Danny Dorling. Ranging from the polemical to the fantastical, the personal to the societal, they offer something for every taste. All experience the city as a cultural phenomenon & notice its nature & its people. Read individually they`re delightful small reads, pulled together they offer a particular portrait of a global city”. (Evening Standard). ” Exquisitely diverse”. (The Times). ” Eclectic & broad-minded.. .beautifully designed”. (Tom Cox, Observer). ”A fascinating collection with a wide range of styles & themes. The design qualities are excellent, as you might expect from Penguin with a consistent look & feel while allowing distinctive covers for each book. This is a very pleasing set of books”. (A Common Reader blog). ” The contrasts & transitions between books are as stirring as the books themselves...A multidimensional literary jigsaw”. (Londonist). ”A series of short, sharp, city-based vignettes
- some personal, some political & some pictorial.. .each inimitable author finds that our city is complicated but ultimately connected, full of wit, & just the right amount of grit”. (Fabric Magazine). ”A collection of beautiful books”. (Grazia). Praise for Philippe Parreno`s work: ” Exceptional.. .a small masterpiece”. (Laura Cumming, Guardian). ” One of France`s hottest commodities. An artist with an almost chameleon-like approach to his medium, he can switch from film-maker to sculptor to storyteller to producer with the kind of dexterity that defies categorisation”. (Guardian). Philippe Parreno is an Algerian artist & filmmaker who has had shows in major art galleries around the world & is considered the finest writer among artists by curators such as Hans Ulrich Obrist. Based in Paris, his documentary film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait was released in 2006. He has exhibited in Mo MA, Tate Modern & the Guggenheim, among others.
