Die Geschichte von Derek Jarman und seinem Rückzugsort Prospect Cottage in Dungeness ist von tiefer persönlicher Bedeutung, da der Ort während seiner HIV-Erkrankung sowohl Heim als auch kreative Inspirationsquelle wurde. Der Garten, als "Pharmakopöe" konzipiert, wird zum zentralen Element seiner künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung. In diesem Band finden sich Auszüge aus Jarmans Tagebüchern sowie aus seinem posthum veröffentlichten Werk, die Einblicke in seine Gedanken und den kreativen Prozess gewähren. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Keith Collins bietet einen zusätzlichen Kontext zu Jarmans Leben und Schaffen.

Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman's death due to an AIDS-related illness, 'Blue' is a daring work of art. The film - and this book's text - serve as iconoclastic responses to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis. Written poetically and surrealistically, Jarman's text moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical.

Derek Jarman worked for more than seven years to complete is feature film based on the life and work of Italian post-Renaissance painter, Caravaggio. This book interprets the film with photographs taken throughout the filming

A divine, meditative and inspiring diary of Derek Jarman's famous garden at Dungeness.'An essential - urgent - book for the 21st Century' Hans Ulrich ObristWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY OLIVIA LAINGIn 1986 Derek Jarman discovered he was HIV positive and decided to make a garden at his cottage on the barren coast of Dungeness.

Conceived of as a 'pharmacopoeia' - an ever-evolving circle of stones, plants and flotsam sculptures all built and grown in spite of the bracing winds and arid shingle - it remains today a site of fascination and wonder. Pharmacopoeia brings together the best of Derek Jarman's writing on nature, gardening and Prospect Cottage.

From the early seventies until his death in 1994, Derek Jarman made scores of films. Assembled here are six of his unforgettable film scripts: Akenaten , Jubilee , Bob-Up-A-Down , B Movie: Little England/A Time of Hope , Neutron , and Sod ’Em , five of which have yet to reach the screen and all of which confirm Jarman’s reputation as Britain’s leading independent filmmaker.

In non-linear snippets and including photographs of Jarman's artwork, he describes his sexual awakening in post-war England, his early struggles to create and find recognition for his art, and vivid accounts of his friends, lovers, and inspirations.
