Body Double
Author: Lucy Fischer
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813554500
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Body Double explores the myriad ways that film artists have represented the creative process. In this highly innovative work, Lucy Fischer draws on a neglected element of auteur studies to show that filmmakers frequently raise questions about the paradoxes of authorship by portraying the onscreen writer. Dealing with such varied topics as the icon of the typewriter, the case of the writer/director, the authoress, and the omnipresent infirm author, she probes the ways in which films can tell a plausible story while contemplating the conditions and theories of their making. By examining many forms of cinema, from Hollywood and the international art cinema to the avant-garde, Fischer considers the gender, age, and mental or physical health of fictionalized writers; the dramatized interaction between artists and their audiences and critics; and the formal play of written words and nonverbal images. By analyzing such movies as Adaptation, Diary of a Country Priest, Naked Lunch, American Splendor, and Irezumi, Fischer tracks the parallels between film author and character, looking not for the creative figure who stands outside the text, but for the one who stands within it as corporeal presence and alter-ego.

Pages : 0
Book Description
The art of the Japanese tattoo has fascinated people across the world for decades, but in Japan they are taboo since traditional full body tattoos are associated with the Japanese mafia - the Yakuza. Yakuza Tattoo offers a unique insight into the dragons, fish and gods that form the identity of the Yakuza. While the motifs are inspired by the structure of the organisation, Japanese history and mythology, younger members tend to add a contemporary touch to their body art. Andreas Johansson visited the homes of members of the Yakuza, documenting Yakuza symbols and body art.

Tattoo Monologues
Author: Donna L. Torrisi
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1647423120
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Body art can tell personal stories. When linked to a difficult or traumatic life, it can even restore one’s sense of well-being. As director of a community health center for twenty-seven years and as a nurse practitioner for over forty years, Donna Torrisi became fascinated with the stories behind her patients’ tattoos. When she began to ask her female patients about their markings, themes of trauma, pain, and loss emerged, and it became clear that the art indelibly marked on their bodies had played a part in their healing and redemption. The women featured in Tattoo Monologues demonstrate vulnerability and courage as they share both their personal tattoo narratives and photos of the images on their bodies. These women represent diverse cultures, ethnicities, and professional contexts, but they are united by their use of tattoos as a tool for processing traumatic life experiences. The images, stories, emotions, and journeys in this book collectively tell a compelling story. A story of skin and ink. A story of trauma and adversity. A story of courage and resilience.

Needle Work
Author: Jamie Jelinski
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 022802305X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
In 1891 J. Murakami travelled from Japan, via San Francisco, to Vancouver Island and began working in and around Victoria. His occupation: creating permanent images on the skin of paying clients. From this early example of tattooing as work, Jamie Jelinski takes us from coast to coast with detours to the United States, England, and Japan as he traces the evolution of commercial tattooing in Canada over more than one hundred years. Needle Work offers insight into how tattoo artists navigated regulation, the types of spaces they worked in, and the dynamic relationship between the images they tattooed on customers and other forms of visual culture and artistic enterprise. Merging biographical narratives with an examination of tattooing’s place within wider society, Jelinski reveals how these commercial image makers bridged conventional gaps between cultural production and practical, for-profit work, thereby establishing tattooing as a legitimate career. Richly illustrated and drawing on archives, print media, and objects held in institutions and private collections across Canada and beyond, Needle Work provides a timely understanding of a vocation that is now familiar but whose intricate history has rarely been considered.

The Spectacle of Illusion
Author: Matthew Tompkins
Publisher: Distributed Art Publishers (DAP)
ISBN: 9781942884378
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
In 'The Spectacle of Illusion', professional magician-turned experimental psychologist Dr. Matthew L. Tompkins investigates the arts of deception as practised and popularised by mesmerists, magicians and psychics since the early 18th century. Organised thematically within a broadly chronological trajectory, this compelling book explores how illusions perpetuated by magicians and fraudulent mystics can not only deceive our senses but also teach us about the inner workings of our minds. Indeed, modern scientists are increasingly turning to magic tricks to develop new techniques to examine human perception, memory and belief.0Beginning by discussing mesmerism and spiritualism, the book moves on to consider how professional magicians such as John Nevil Maskelyne and Harry Houdini engaged with these movements ? particularly how they set out to challenge and debunk paranormal claims. It also relates the interactions between magicians, mystics and scientists over the past 200 years, and reveals how the researchers who attempted to investigate magical and paranormal phenomena were themselves deceived, and what this can teach us about deception. 00Exhibition: Wellcome Collection, London, UK (11.04.-15.09.2019).

Book Description
October in Seattle—a dreary, drizzly time of year, and it doesn't help that private eye John Denson’s favorite hangout, the Pig’s Alley, is being converted into a fey French restaurant. Things are worse for Denson’s good friend and darts partner Willie Prettybird. A salmon fisherman by trade, in business with his brother Rodney, Willie is nervous about a lawsuit they've brought to gain treaty fishing rights for the Cowlitz Indian tribe, an action that has made the Prettybirds a few powerful enemies among the sport and commercial fishing interests, notably Foxx Jensen and Doug Egan. What worries Willie even more is that somebody is threatening his pretty sister Melinda, by beating up her boyfriends. Denson volunteers to look into Melinda's problem, which at first seems a simple case of a jealous ex-husband, though Mike Stark doesn't really fit the part. But when the federal judge in the Cowlitz suit is reported missing, and when neatly butchered cuts of human flesh begin mysteriously to turn up in a downtown park, Denson realizes he's cast his net into deep and dangerous waters. The Seattle police hope that a sophisticated computerized scanner trained on the park vicinity will discover case-breaking evidence. Denson, his methods less fancy, pursues his own unconventional course, helped on his offbeat way by a motley ensemble: a beautiful and brainy lawyer; a renegade cop with a grudge, and the wacky owner of Juantar’s Doie Bar, Denson’s new home away from home. It is a case full of fish stories, and Denson’s job is to find out who the liars are. With a shocking climax set in a spooky labyrinth underneath Seattle's sidewalks, it is surely the grisliest and most bizarre case of John Denson’s eccentric career. "The Denson books...sophisticated, well-written and excellent examples of the genre."—The New York Times Book Review

Pages : 338
Book Description
Discover the fundamentals of tattoo art and discover your unique style! Tattooing isn't just a craft—it's a legacy, evolving daily as passionate artists push the boundaries of imagination with every drop of ink. Traditionally, this art form is handed down from one generation to the next, with masters relying on verbal explanations and hands-on demonstrations to pass on their expertise. If you're anything like me—an eager artist hungry to gather up knowledge and keep pace with the expectations of the modern tattoo world—you've probably felt the frustration of trying to find solid answers to your burning questions. I've been there, diving into countless online and in-person tattoo courses, only to find myself unsatisfied with the lack of depth and detail. It wasn't until I started my own apprenticeship that I truly grasped the empirical nature behind mastering this craft and the challenge of passing down that wisdom. That's why I've put my heart and soul into this book. Drawing from the teachings of various masters I met along the way, supplemented by my own research into books and digital resources, filling the gaps left by my own journey in the industry. Because let's face it—we all learn differently, at our own pace, and with our own interests driving us forward. This isn't just another tattoo book—it's your personal roadmap through the defying world of tattooing. Tear it apart, scribble in the margins, and explore its contents on your own terms. Inside, you'll find pages full of history, techniques, styles, and insider tips from professional artists who've walked the same path. I'm still that eager artist hungry for knowledge, and this book is my contribution to fellow apprentices like you. Consider it a compendium of everything I've learned—the first step in what I know will be a lifelong journey. Welcome to Inkclopedia: A Journey into the Tattoo Apprentice's World—let's ink together.
