Description

 

Over a near-decade from 1986, the artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman and his partner Keith Collins created a home and sanctuary at Prospect Cottage.

After Jarman’s death in 1994, Collins hung net curtains to shield the home they had shared from the eyes of visitors to Prospect’s world-famous garden.

In 2018, the photographer Gilbert McCarragher, a friend and neighbour in Dungeness, was asked to record the house, a vital artwork in its own right.

It was the first time this private world had been so extensively chronicled.

Its exterior is one of the most photographed in Britain — but the inside of the artist and director’s home has seldom been seen, until now…a riveting portrait of the later years of an important British artist’ – Sunday Times
