Five selected films spanning the three decades of Vivienne Dick’s practice, accompanied by a 100 page full-colour publication with newly commissioned essays by Maeve Connolly, Rachel Garfield, and Bev Zalcock.

Vivienne Dick (b. 1950, Ireland) is an internationally-celebrated film-maker and artist. A key figure of the ‘No Wave’ movement in  New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s, she has gone on to  develop an extraordinary body of work, which has been shown in cinemas, films festivals and art galleries around the world.

Shot on Super-8, 16mm and video, Dick’s film-making practice slips between fiction and documentary, using elements of both, along with fragmentary narrative, dislocated imagery  and compelling self-reflexive performances.
