An offshoot from our three-month MOVING FASHION project at the end of 2005, EDITING FASHION shifted the focus of SHOWstudio's ongoing exploration of fashion film from direction to the editing process and from established, guest artists to the SHOWstudio viewer base. For this, we offered a package of source material –including exclusive film footage shot by Nick Knight and a selection of possible soundtracks by guest artists- that could be downloaded and edited by SHOWstudio Viewers. Viewers were asked to make an edit from the material provided which lasted up to two minutes. By keeping the source material the same in all cases, the emphasis was kept on the individual editor’s approach and authorship. The finished films could then be uploaded onto SHOWstudio from mid-January 2006 and screened in the Viewers’ Cut gallery.
A second phase of this project saw a number of high-profile, internationally-based, professional editors from a range of different genres tackle the same footage to create a series of five-minute shorts in early 2006.
