In the run up to our forthcoming collaboration with Helen Storey, the designer and scientist has agreed to take the SHOWstudio picture phone home with her over the holidays.

Artist Tris Vonna-Michell was a photographer dissatisfied with letting his images do the talking, so he began evolving stories around them. These stories, told while showing photocopies and projected slides and handing out various props (such as an egg timer that determines the length of the story to be told),... [more]

Having just finished our final shot, Flowers For Kate is now complete. Kate is packing, and Roddy has departed, following composition of three poems and work on his fourth which will be posted in due course.
The final print results remain an enigma, but let this dramatic whiplash of Yves Saint... [more]

Over the past couple of hours I've been gathering ideas and information for a poem more directly about what's happening here today. When I first cast an eye on the racks of clothes yesterday, one strange piece caught my eye, looking like a tan-coloured bedsheet. Once stepped into by Kate,... [more]

I’ve more or less finished my second poem on the floral theme, quite a rhymey, musical piece. I’m not sure myself yet how metaphorical it is. It might just be about the hardiness of plants, but I doubt it. I’m moving away from the theme today and planning to spend... [more]

One of the perks of working at SHOWstudio is the chance to flick through (and fawn over) racks of clothes still warm from the catwalk. With Kate in make-up, the opportunity is rife for me to rifle through the Rykiel, stroke the Sander and maul the Margiela. The word 'floral'... [more]

We've shot four looks using the time slice technology, Roddy has gone home to think on his next poem and Kate has retired for the night to get some beauty sleep...we think! We'll be back tomorrow from 11 (UK time) when the 35 'bullet time' cameras (yes, I made a... [more]

I've been working on this piece about flowers blooming in unlikely places. It's getting there but I'm going to take time out from it and work on it before I return to the shoot tomorrow. With a jazzily formal piece like this, you can end up getting fussy or repetitive... [more]

I'm plotting a poem which will mirror the set-up of the 35 cameras in the circle by using 35 lines in a circle. I've been trying to find four motto-like phrases which I can place on the four radii - two proclamatory ones and two more lyrical / organic. Then... [more]

Here's the draft of my sing-song, list poem, a mixture of plant lore, flower names and derivations and assorted images of flowers, both bitter and sweet. I'll probably add some tabs to the layout, but here's the basic text for now.
Bouquet
Open answer. Last of winter.
Wand of heaven. Scented bower.
Serpent shifter.... [more]

I've been on the set for a couple of hours now, watching as things are being prepared. I'm not sure how many poems I'm going to produce, but I want to create a variety of pieces, some unusual, others more conventional. Since flowers are central to the shoot, I've brought... [more]

We are absolutely thrilled to announce a forthcoming collaboration with Professor Helen Storey, one of the most significant British fashion designers of the 1980s and 90s who more recently has focused her creativity on scientific experimentation and its visualisation.
Renowned during her fashion career for combining confrontational ‘anti-fashion’ elements with... [more]

One of Shakespeare's most frequently-quoted passages, from As You Like It, considers the world as nothing but a theatrical stage where humans are actors, playing different roles. Tate Modern's 'The World as a Stage' ponders contemporary artworks that reference the theatrical. The tableau vivant by young Hamburg artist Ulla Von... [more]

Here's one to mobilise you all! Believing fashion to be political in its sheer ability to communicate, Nick Knight has conceived of a multi-level project, encouraging creatives to use the medium of fashion to convey their political beliefs, agendas and thoughts. From the beginning of December 2007, the first stage... [more]
