Readdressing The Body In Fashion Image-Making & Visual Culture – Bodies Of Knowledge



SHOWstudio, Nick Knight and Emma Dabiri present a thought-provoking new body of work featuring over 50 leading international contributors, which seeks to challenge and reconsider prevailing Eurocentric and Western notions of how the body has been represented and imagined in visual culture and fashion image-making.

Participants working across wide-ranging disciplines including fashion, art, music, film, sports and philosophy, were invited to create short films in response to physical and metaphysical attributes of the human body. This bold canon of work ranges from fashion film, 3D animation, video essays and spoken word pieces, to dance and musical performance.

To explore the films and project in full, head to SHOWstudio.com.
