The coffee table book "Ongoing" provides an exclusive look at Tilda Swinton's iconic film roles, with a special focus on the artistic collaborations integral to her career.

The first book on Tilda Swinton's film work takes readers behind the scenes of some of her most iconic roles. The book takes as its starting point the artistic collaborations that helped shape her unique presence, from projects with Derek Jarman to Luca Guadagnino, and explores Swinton's autobiography. Swinton pushes the boundaries of the actor's sometimes limited role and takes visitors on a sensory journey that celebrates co-creation, the synergy between director and actor and the influence of different art forms. This project is a tribute to the spirit of "renewal through connection" that has characterized Swinton's remarkable career.

Film stills and previously unpublished photographs from a selection of short and feature-length films in which Swinton starred. The book devotes a chapter to the work of Derek Jarman, who played a crucial role in Swinton's artistic development, and Joanna Hogg, a childhood friend with whom she recently collaborated. The selection also includes texts and photographs about her collaborations with Derek Jarman, Pedro Almodóvar and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, focusing on the dynamics between actor and director in collective artistic processes.
