“Choosing the kind of lie you want to tell is
actually the creative art of photography. And there
are few better and more interesting liars than Anton.”
– Brian Eno
Anton Corbijn has transformed his photo portrait
subjects – from David Bowie to Nirvana and Nicolas
Cage – into icons, capturing and enhancing their
fame. One of the most important visual artists of
the last century, Corbijn has had his works grace
both the walls of art museums and the cover of Rolling
Stone magazine.
So what makes a master go from stills to the
moving image? On the eve of the release of his directorial
debut, Control – the story of Joy Division – Corbijn
finds himself on the unfamiliar ground of the outer-circle
of the Hollywood elite, risking everything to capture
a new vision.
