Book Launch: Procession Jeremy Deller
PROCESSION
JEREMY DELLER
Published by Cornerhouse and Manchester International Festival.
The book features previously unseen pictures and stories from the event held at MIF in July 2009 and from Jeremy Deller’s research across the city.
‘For me, a procession can act as a snapshot of a time and place and I wanted this one to be as strange, messy and beautiful as daily life in this city is. I was also hoping to include elements that would not just show a smoothed out Manchester, as big cities inevitably have complicated histories and contradictory presents, presents in which certain group activities are lazily referred to as anti-social when in reality they are exactly the opposite.’

The book is available at Cornerhouse.
