MODERN NATURE - DEREK JARMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

Read this meditative and inspiring diary of Derek Jarman's famous garden at Dungeness  which is
also a powerful account of his life as an HIV positive man in the 1980s. In 1986 Derek Jarman
discovered he was HIV positive and decided to make a garden at his cottage on the barren coast
of Dungeness. Facing an uncertain future  he nevertheless found solace in nature  growing all
manner of plants. While some perished beneath wind and sea-spray others flourished  creating
brilliant  unexpected beauty in the wilderness. Modern Nature is both a diary of the garden and
a meditation by Jarman on his own life: his childhood  his time as a young gay man in the 1960s
his renowned career as an artist  writer and film-maker. It is at once a lament for a lost
generation  an unabashed celebration of gay sexuality  and a devotion to all that is living.
'An essential - urgent - book for the 21st Century' Hans Ulrich Obrist This new edition
features an introduction from Olivia Laing  the author of Crudo
