British artist Sam Taylor-Wood utilizes photography, film, video, soundtrack, and digitized imagery to concoct dramatic episodes that resound with themes of control, obsession, and denial.

Published on the occasion of an exhibition, Milan, Fondazione Prada, Nov. 19, 1998 to Jan. 6, 1999. / Text in English and Italian. / Includes bibliographical references.
