This is the second of four monographs documenting four contemporary artists' selections from Moscow's V-A-C collection and their subsequent display at London's Whitechapel Gallery. Here, British artist Fiona Banner (b. 1966) explores the blurred lines between language, photography and painting.
A book showing the unique working style of British artist Fiona Banner, a Turner Prize nominee, who uses a nude model and then rather than painting the image, describes it in words painted on a large canvas.
One day in her late fifties, Fiona Lewis wakes up and asks herself, Is this it? Ostensibly, her life has been full of adventure and privilege: London and Paris in the '60s, Los Angeles in the '70s. Nevertheless, she feels lost. Realising she has to find a way to reinvent herself, she impulsively buys a ruined chateau in France. Alone in the depths of the countryside, Lewis reflects on her glamorous youth across London and Paris in the 60s, Hollywood in the 70s, and the important, sometimes disastrous, choices she made along the way.

Throughout the book, Durbin's voice mutates into others in order to uncover the fading specters of meaning buried under the pristine surfaces of art and Hollywood, locating below them the other realities that structure our experience of both.
