JOHN STEZAKER: STUDIO VISIT

John Stezaker: Studio Visit, 17min, 2026

“All my work is about trying to redeem images... to break through the seal of indifference that comes with familiarity. I am making that strangeness visible”

From his studio on the south coast of England, artist John Stezaker sets out to transform how we see the image. By cutting and combining stills of Hollywood pin-ups, scenic postcards and other photographs drawn from his extensive archive, he destroys images to set them free.

In this film, Stezaker invites us into his studio (and ‘cabinet of horrors’) to explore the uncanny philosophy behind his work.
