SHOWStudio's latest project

Showstudio

"Do you want to have a touch?" I'd just meandered into the gallery space of artsy Soho boutique Beyond the Valley. A young man stood before me, smiling invitingly. We were all alone.

"Err, go on, then," I ventured. One of those easier-to-say-yes-than-no situations. I needn't have worried (if I had). For I was in the hands of SHOWStudio's latest project, The Replenishing Body.

I was being invited to interact (a recurring SHOWStudio theme) with the touchscreen before me, which when activated by touch, would record me in movement and splice me into the existing montage. I thought I was in good company - Lily Cole, Bella Freud, Jodie Harsh and Namalee Bolle (see here) had all been before me.

Doggie But I bet none of them ended up with a face like a dog (that's me, dog-face, in the black and gold dress).

But of course there are always those after the quick thrill of fame - in amongst the wiggling toes, the winking eyes and nodding heads were two girls snogging, someone grabbing their boobs and, lowest of lows, a spot being squeezed - all fodder for a comment on society's runaway narcissism.  Nick Knight will choose his three favourite video portraits of the series. Stay tuned to SHOWStudio.
