A couple of off beat art films for your enjoyment this week, maverick British photographer I AM MARTIN PARR provided a sometimes critical but always mischievous mirror to our times, forcing us to take a hard look at how consumer society has shaped our lives,
on an intimate and exclusive road trip across England. His choice of subjects, frames and colours have revolutionised contemporary photography.
Taboo: Egon Schiele offers a bold psychoanalytic reading of the artist’s deep connection to this Bohemian town, both as a physical place and a symbol of maternal longing, desire, and confinement. Through his paintings, writings, and poetry, the film explores his troubled relationship with women, his obsession with time and death, and his raw, modern vision that is still unsettling today
And for those of you who aren’t too fussed about arty stuff, LOMU kicks off at Shoreline next week on the 10th.Some say it should be the 11th but that’s another story.
