REMEMBERING CHRIS MARKER
ADAM BARTOS and COLIN MacCABE
With an Introduction by BEN LERNER
"A beautiful portrait from which the subject has
gone missing Š at once a poignant personal
reminiscence and the finest appraisal I've read
of Marker's poetics and politics Š Studio is an
experiment with montage, with dynamism and
stillness."
Chris Marker, who died in 2012 in his home city
of Paris, was a celebrated writer, photographer
and documentary film director. Best known for his
films La Jetée, A Grin Without a Cat, and Sans
Soleil, he was described by fellow filmmaker
Alain Resnais as "the prototype of the
twenty-first-century man."
In this highly original homage, Adam Bartos'
exquisite photographs of Marker's studio, a
workspace both extraordinarily cluttered and
highly organized, appear alongside a moving
reminiscence of his friend by the film theorist
and practitioner Colin MacCabe. The physical
structure of the book, incorporating a concertina
of images, echoes Marker's own commitment to
radical, innovative form. The result is a
compelling homage to one of the most important
and original talents in modern cinema.
