CANNES 2006

Mike Figgis, Nick Knight

Viewing film festivals as ‘highly suspect at the best of times’ Mike Figgis constructed an elaborate rouse to survive Cannes 2006. Acting as a (rather famous) ‘beach portraitist’, he set up a make-shift studio in his hotel bedroom and a gallery at the back of his host nightclub and spent the week photographing and exhibiting prints of the various directors, actresses, producers and writers attending the festival. In the gallery, filmed interview and essay below, Figgis shared with SHOWstudio his resultant images, his thoughts on the festival and the history of how photography has influenced his image career.

FREEDOM OF LOVE

Brad Pitt

During a recent shoot for Vanity Fair, Nick Knight created a number of
on-set scenarios for intriguing visual and aural actions for subject Brad
Pitt to perform, so as to engage the actor in 'pique' performance. 'Freedom
of Love' is a short film which captured Pitt in action during the shoot,
energetically painting onto a huge blow up of his own face, and adding
caption, and contemplatively reading surrealist poetry. Pitt reads from
André Breton's poem 'Freedom of Love', a one stanza, sixty-line homage to his wife. The poem cites a beautiful litany of comparisons for her physical attributes, deftly playing with language that eludes any commonplace romantic imaging, instead presenting uncanny metaphors. Breton was the provocative, passionate leader of the avant-garde literary and artistic movement Surrealism, who believed in 'revolution of the mind', and in the 'marvellous' - dazzling combinations of words or visual images,
spontaneously created by automatic processes of the mind.

GUISER

Leigh Bowery

Guiser presented a rare selection of original and previously unpublished material that looked at, listened to and wrote about the legendary figure Leigh Bowery. The extraordinary personage of Leigh Bowery has had an enormous influence on visual culture - across fashion, art, music and performance - and SHOWstudio wanted to celebrate this legacy. Guiser brought together previously unseen film footage of Bowery being photographed by Nick Knight, with unreleased sound material from 'Minty' demo tapes as a soundtrack. Also featured was an essay by one of Leigh's contemporaries, Donald Urquhart -whose own artistic output and creativity mirrors the breadth of Bowery's output, as well as intertwining creatively with it. Urquhart's text gave personal accounts of some of the posthumous events that have commemorated Leigh Bowery.

POWER OF WITCHES

Comme des Gar�ons

Legendary designer Rei Kawakubo opened up her highly intellectual creative process for consideration in this unprecedented collaboration with SHOWstudio. Following the production of a photographic shoot from its inception to its delivery to Another Magazine for its September issue, this project demonstrated how the many creatives involved in making fashion imagery responded to the overarching conceptual direction of the celebrated Comme des Garçons visionary.

For the initial, three-day phase of the project, photographer Nick Knight and stylist Alister Mackie interpreted the emotional theatre of the Autumn/Winter '04 Commes des Garçons collection with its attenuated jacket sleeves. From there, follow the post-production of the resultant photographs in a dialogue between Knight and his imaging collaborator Allan Finamore as they extended the visual parameters of the pictures taken on set via digital manipulation. Finally, Kawakubo added the 'hand of the artist', imbuing the final images with her individual response to them.

A live discussion forum ran throughout the project, giving SHOWstudio viewers the opportunity to ask questions of the creatives active during each stage.
