Istvan Horkay

For the last four years I have been working with Peter Greenaway on the Tulse Luper project, creating multi-layered images for use in film, book and video.

"The Tulse Luper Suitcases is an ambitious attempt to enter fully into the Digital Age. A project of large geographical and historical scope, it encyclopedically examines in feature films, DVD's, theatreplays, exhibitions, installations, Web sites, and books, the life of Tulse Luper, professional prisoner, collector, and collator from 1911 to 2003. The investigations are centred on 92 packed suitcases collected from all over the world, which, when examined and unpacked, reveal more and more accumulated evidence of his life and times. The Tulse Luper Suitcases is mastered and edited on digital HD, with a desire to be a true product of post-celluloid cinema, entering into all the exciting potential of image and sound proliferation that the new media of the moving image are offering." - Peter Greenaway
