Derek Jarman's Modern Nature
This is a beautiful pocket-sized book focusing on Derek Jarman's lifelong passion for plants, the
human body, the landscape and the greater environment. The publication includes originally
commissioned texts by Tilda Swinton, Olivia Laing, Ali Smith, Neil Tennant and Alexandra
Symons Sutcliffe and is edited by Philip Hoare. It also includes archival photography by Howard
Sooley and Liam Daniel, and selected stills from Derek Jarman's films.
Published alongside the John Hansard Gallery exhibition, Derek Jarman's Modern Nature,
(2021/22), which drew and reflected on Jarman's extraordinary legacy as a radical artist and
filmmaker. All proceeds are donated to Breakout Youth, a local charity which offers a confidential
support service for young LGBTQ+ people. Designed by Daly & Lyon.
