If Capitalism Is Short, My Shots are Long: Declan Clarke Talks to Shirley Read

This book, an exclusive interview with Berlin-based, Irish artist and filmmaker Declan Clarke, provides a detailed insight into the creative process of an artist at a key stage in his career. Clarke is a master communicator and storyteller - always open, amusing, inspiring - and highly readable.  Ranging from his early formative experiences at art college to his work on his most recent, award-winning films, the interview ranges over those issues of fundamental concern to almost any artist: instinct, research, colour, form, collaboration, career, funding, creativity, technology, politics... and the dogs of Bucharest.  The interview is illustrated by images of Clarke at work researching and shooting his films.
