Books by Peter Greenaway

In this collection of essays, various postmodern and poststructuralist aspects of Peter Greenaway's films are explored, including The Draughtman's Contract, The Belly of an Architect, A Zed and Two Noughts, and The Pillow Book. This collection of diverse essays, which includes two texts by Greenaway, two interviews with the director, and a revised filmography, explores the cultural, historical, and philosophical implications of this hybrid artist whose paintings, drawings, exhibitions, installations, and operatic productions are an intrinsic part of his work in film.

Presents a veritable film on paper through 92 plates/frames comprising solely images and drawings, colours and architectural references interspersed with 92 pages where words rule. This title condenses an urban and architectural history of more than two thousand years, suggesting a vision for the cities of tomorrow.
