Jeremy Deller: Battle of Orgreave
| Back | ||
Jeremy Deller's work, can take the form of live and recorded music, still photography and video, performance and book publishing. He presents himself as a very different kind of artist: curator, social entrepreneur, actor, and producer. In the film The Battle of Orgreave (2001), (directed by Mike Figgis and shown on Channel 4 in 2001), Deller presents the bloodiest episode of the miner's strike of 1984-85. The story is re-enacted in the manner of historical re-enactment societies. But this historic battle took place only 15 years earlier, working with people who were actually involved in the original event (film © ArtAngel/Channel 4/Jeremy Deller/Mike Figgis) View Jeremy Deller, Battle of Orgreave video. |
