This is the first monograph to focus on the influential artist-filmmaker Stuart Croft (1970–2015). It includes a catalogue the 17 moving-image artworks which the artist made between 1998 and 2014. Croft’s work formed a dialogue between the gallery and the cinema, and he used the tools of script-writing, acting and cinematography to investigate the subjects of recurrence, power and desire.

Original texts by Deborah Levy and Darian Leader are included, along with lectures that were first written and presented by Croft to illustrate the key concepts of his practice and his writing and production processes. ‘Stuart Croft Returns’ has been produced by The Everyday Press in collaboration with the Stuart Croft Foundation. The book has been edited by Emma Bennett and designed by Margherita Sabbioneda.
