Brody Neuenschwander is one of the great writing masters of our time. He is also a tireless experimenter, who uses his virtuosity to make complex works of art that challenge the viewer to look, and read, and look again. Although he is an accomplished calligrapher, his work has little to do with the 'beautiful writing' generally associated with that word. He has taken calligraphy into uncharted territory, where the writing is done on monumental walls, whitewashed layers of paper, or naked skin.As a long-time collaborator of the controversial film director and artist Peter Greenaway, Brody Neuenschwander has created letterscapes for cinema, theatre and architecture. Working with Greenaway has allowed him to stretch the boundaries of calligraphy even further, exploring the possibilities of text in motion, and of writing as a filmed performance.This book offers a twofold perspective on Neuenschwander's work. It gives a pictorial overview of the collaborative projects with Peter Greenaway, to which Greenaway himself contributed a poignant essay. And it shows the best of Neuenschwander's fascinating collages on paper - his most intimate and personal work. «
