Description
by Gilbert & George (Author)
A three-volume set exploring Gilbert & George's Daytripping films (1992 - 2025), documenting their day trips to the Essex coastline.
Gilbert & George, one of the most significant artist duos of our time, created their three-film series Daytripping between 1992 and 2025. This three-volume set of books showcases Daytripping, Daytripping (Again) and Daytripping Forever! Directed by Southend-on-Sea-born British film and television director Iain B. MacDonald, the films follow three of the artists' day trips from their studio, famously located in the East End of London, to the Essex coastline, asking bold and significant questions of the artists at different stages of their remarkable career. The three books feature stills from the films and a selection of the artists' works, all presented in a printed slipcase. Each book also includes a link to watch the corresponding film.Author Biography
Gilbert & George began creating art together in 1967 when they met at Central St Martins. From the beginning, in their films and 'Living Sculpture' performances, they have appeared as figures in their own art. The 'two men, one artist' believe that everything is a potential subject matter for art. They address social issues and taboos, challenging what might be considered 'good taste'. The backdrop and inspiration for much of their art is the East End of London where Gilbert & George have lived for nearly 50 years. Iain B. MacDonald is a British director and producer whose work spans drama, comedy and documentary. He began his career with arts documentaries before moving into scripted television with acclaimed series such as Bodies, The Last Enemy and Mansfield Park. His short film Billy's Day Out won Best Short at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Since relocating to Los Angeles, he has directed episodes of Shameless, Wayne, Black Monday, Shantaram, and Poker Face. A passionate advocate for emerging talent, he co-founded the Essex International Film Festival to celebrate bold, independent film making in his home region.
