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 />
