| A collection of words and images by Christopher Doyle, RGB features photographs, textures, colors and complicities all documented during the filming of HERO. Doyle captured this lush, beautiful photographic "footage" while traveling through magnificent places in China such as Dun Huang, Jiu Zhai Gou, Heng Dian. The central characters in the film are an ambitious king, who is attempting to unite China’s many warring states, and his would-be assassin, played by Jet Li. Just like the book, this film is essentially a deep dialog between ideas, images and words. The tremendous emphasis Doyle places on color is evidenced in the superbly reproduced images and is a prominent and recurring theme in the texts and interviews. An elegant and experimental combination of film, photography and graphic art, RGB is a must have for Christopher Doyle fans, designers and book collectors everywhere. |
