Film Booth<br />

Alvin Booth<br />

“As an admirer of Booth's work, I expected to admire his Film Booth<br />

DVD equally; however, I was completely unprepared for what I saw -<br />

something so original, so beautiful and so gentle that I could compare<br />

it to nothing else because I had seen nothing like it. It evoked an<br />

earlier era, putting me in mind of Auguste and Louis Lumiere, who,<br />

in addition to inventing the autochrome - the first color photographic<br />

process - also invented movies. They patented their combined camera<br />

and projector, the Cinematographe, in 1895 and produced what is<br />

considered the first movie, Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory. The<br />

following year they produced over forty films of everyday French life. In<br />

Film Booth the artist has also assembled his modern reel of ten films,<br />

remarking that, 'If MTV had been around 100 years earlier, perhaps my<br />

films might have been a kind of 1890s pop video.“ Prof. <strong>John</strong> Wood in<br />

the introduction<br />

Alvin Booth<br />

Alvin Booth was born in Hull. He left school at the age of seventeen and<br />

trained to become a hairdresser. In 1989 he gave up hairdressing and<br />

moved to New York City. His work is has been exhibited in international<br />

museums and is represented by some of the most prestigious galleries<br />

in major cities in the United States and Europe. He divides his time<br />

between New York and the southwest of France. His first book of<br />

nudes, Corpus was awarded the Kodak Photo <strong>Book</strong> press award for<br />

2002. “ Alvin Booths gift is alarming in its intimacy because he lets<br />

us see what he sees. There is tenderness and a hint of sadness in his<br />

photographs of women, seen as though slumbering in a latex cocoon.<br />

It is a private vision shared of women’s suspended, as though caught<br />

after falling from a great height, an impossible, privileged view”- <strong>John</strong><br />
