Gilbert McCarragher
Photographer
Prospect Cottage: Derek Jarman’s House
Published by Thames & Hudson, McCarragher’s work opens the door onto this previously undisturbed, unseen world — the Dungeness home of artist and filmmaker, Derek Jarman.
Foreword by Frances Borzello. Hardback. 192 pages. 165 colour illustrations.
McCarragher’s devotion to both the house and its subjects offer touching insight to Jarman as a person, beyond his significant cultural and political achievements.
This is the first time a photographer has so extensively documented the house — an artwork in its own right, which encapsulates Jarman’s vision of the world.
Set against a poignant story of love and loss, McCarragher’s photographs are accompanied by reflective essays that take the reader inside the cottage and reveal something of its history and the experience of photographing there.
