If Capitalism Is Short, My Shots are Long

Declan Clarke

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.

'Declan Clarke's skill is to weave the personal into the political and vice-versa, and to show that the two are inextricably related.'
