this book focuses exclusively on the artist’s film work, which was screened at the legendary Studio 5. It offers a total immersion: naturally, we rediscover his minimalist ‘action cinema’: the slumber of *Sleep*, the intimacy of *Kiss* or his legendary *Empire*. The book explores the full complexity of his later creations, notably his cult collaborations with Paul Morrissey, such as the hypnotic *The Chelsea Girls*.

More than a catalogue, it is a theoretical object: the layout itself is a manifesto. With perforated pages and visual rhythms, the book attempts to physically recreate the sensory experience of viewing the films.
