The screaming body: Antonin Artaud - Film Projects, Drawings and

The Screaming Bodygives a full and authoritative account of Artaud´s film projects and his conception of surrealist cinema. It examines his unique series of drawings of the fragmented human body, begun in the ward of a lunatic asylum and finished in a state of furious liberation. The book captures Artaud´s ultimate experiment with the screaming body in the form of his censored recording To Have Done with the Judgement of God-an experiment which is unprecedented in the history of art.
