These photographic and artistic contributions, submitted by SHOWstudio viewers and Antony And The Johnsons fans across the globe, were all considered for inclusion in Nick Knight's final i-D editorial and film featuring Antony Hegarty.

About

In November 2005, SHOWstudio offered its international audience the unique opportunity to have their own photographic work featured in a Nick Knight photo shoot with Antony Hegarty, lead singer of Mercury Music prize winning group Antony and the Johnsons. As part of the concept for the portrait shoot on 1 December 2005, Nick Knight used a selection of photographic imagery, submitted by SHOWstudio viewers, to inspire an experimental musical performance. The visuals were projected onto Antony, resulting in a photographic spread that appeared in the February 2006 edition of i-D magazine. Incorporating a gallery with over 500 contributions from SHOWstudio viewers, documentation of the initial brief, shoot and the published story in i-D magazine, the project's spectacular finalé piece takes its form in an atmospheric film – featuring Antony and a myriad of inspirational imagery courtesy of SHOWstudio viewers.
