Atom Egoyan is one of the most successful independent filmmakers to emerge from Canada. In addition to his award-winning films he has also directed for both opera and the stage, and created compelling lens-based installation art. Commissioned by Artangel, 'Steenbeckett' saw Egoyan transform a space in the former Museum of Man in London using excerpts of 35mm footage, and it remains his most important installation to date. 'Steenbeckett' is the first publication to explore this impressive work. 'Steenbeckett' included footage from Egoyan?s film version of Samuel Beckett?s 'Krapp?s' Last Tape, which he had made for the project Beckett on Film, 2001. The installation contemplates the nature of memory, and explores Egoyan?s fascination with the obsolescence of technology, the divide of analogue/digital and changing contexts of presentation. 00Exhibition: MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Canada (05.11.2016-02.01.2017).
