Peter Tscherkassky

by Alexander Horwath (Editor), Michael Loebenstein (Editor)

The films of Peter Tscherkassky have played a central role in the reawakening of avant-garde film. His work has run an exciting course-from the anarchic gesture of Super-8 filmmaking through an engagement with psychoanalysis and semiotics towards a newfound pleasure with the physicality of the medium and its potential to overwhelm the audience. Essays about and by Tscherkassky are complemented by rich photographs and frame enlargements.
