You may have wondered where everyone disappeared to for the first part of today - well, Shona and Tim decided to photograph our model Giedre in a somewhat incongruous corridor here at Somerset House for a period, as a contrast to the stylised studio shots of yesterday. Why? Why not! The whole idea behind this shoot, Shona and Tim say, is that there is no pre-determined outcome - the end result has not been visualised, only the approach - which in itself is open to abstract interpretation and innovation. Shooting the project here at Somerset House has also had its impact - Shona mentioned that she feels very aware of her role as 'performer' for both web viewers and exhibition-goers alike, and the shoot's dual value as both process and entertainment. Hence, Shona herself ushered me into the corridor to record the above still for posterity!
