Pre-order this title now for delivery in late September or early October. This is an updated version of the original publication and contains brand new essays, interviews and contribution - all produced in a new compact format. Es Devlin’s protean work is rooted in a lifelong practice of reading and drawing. From sketches in the margins of texts—be they poetry, drama, song lyrics, opera libretti, climate reports, or endangered species lists—emerge the technically advanced, collectively imagined universes for which she is globally renowned. Fragile miniature paintings, paper cuts, and small mechanical cardboard models form the seeds of some of the most iconic, large-scale, multidisciplinary cultural manifestations in recent times, from public sculptures and installations at Superblue Miami and the Lincoln Center, to kinetic stage designs at the Metropolitan Opera, Olympic ceremonies, Super Bowl halftime shows, and monumental illuminated stage sculptures for Beyoncé, Rosalía, and Kendrick Lamar. Features twelve new projects from her recent output, showcasing an artist committed to exploring the limits of the visual arts. Spanning over thirty years of creativity, the tome features Devlin’s personal commentaries on each work, as well as interviews with her collaborators including Bono, Benedict Cumberbatch, Pharrell Williams, Brian Eno, Sam Mendes, and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye. Comes with a specially designed red slipcase. Paperback, 912 pages, 12 x 14 cm PLEASE NOTE: the cover image here is a placeholder and may vary slightly from the final product.
