Traces Gilbert and George's trajectory from London art students to major international artists through the lens of their relationship with the moving image. This book reveals how their signature pieces - such as Bend It dance, Red Sculpture, and short film Gordon's Makes Us Drunk - allowed them to reinvent and reinforce their identity on camera.

From the narrow alleyways of the Golden Gai to the flashing ads and jumbotrons of Shibuya street crossings to the skyscrapers of Shinjuku and the cartoon billboards of the Akiba, Tokyo is an intensely visual and mesmerizing city. This work gives an account of Tokyo's urban sensations.

Berlin's unique history of conflict, violence, and transformation has created an arena of extraordinary urban surfaces, from which the this day city and its layered, wounded past are projected simultaneously. This title explores the intimate connections between those surfaces and the works of art and film.
