Why I Am Not A Painter 之所以我不是畫家 is a two-volume bilingual artist book by award-winning cinematographer, Christopher Doyle (杜可風).
A deeply personal and poetic interrogation of the filmmaker’s own creative methodologies, Why I Am Not A Painter 之所以我不是畫家 includes over 100 texts, 18 collages, and 5 film stills.
For Christopher Doyle, language is a way to review, refine, and reform. Words come from the creative experience and the cinematic space. They are what the process of film-making suggests to him.
Christopher Doyle is an Australian cinematographer and has worked on over fifty Chinese-language films, being best known for his collaborations with Wong Kar-Wai (王家衛) in Chungking Express, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love and 2046.
