Costume Designs
Boorman sketched and provided detailed instructions for costume designs in all of his films, as these images from Deliverance (1972) and Zardoz (1974) demonstrate.




The Memory Cinema in Zardoz
Boorman prepared both a detailed schematic map and production designs for the set of the "Brain" space in Zardoz, one of many proto-cinematic vision machines in his work.

Boorman located another projection device in the Zardoz museum (Hollybrook House, Bray, Ireland).
