Derek Jarman

‘The experimental Super-8 films that Derek Jarman began making in the 1970s are rarely shown.

James Mackay, who later produced some of Jarman's feature films including The Garden 1990 and Blue 1993, agreed to open up his archive of these ground-breaking short films for TateShots.’

‘Blue 1993 is a film by the British artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman which features a single static shot of the colour blue with a voiceover and musical soundtrack. The voiceover, written by Jarman, consists of a diaristic and poetic text documenting his AIDS-related illness and impending death at a time that he had become partially blind, his vision often interrupted by blue light.’ Read more here
