As the World Tipped

This remarkable theatre production took place in Liverpool tonight and is not to be missed if it comes to your city. It is performed by The Wired Aerial Theatre Productions. Here’s a photo selection from the evening.

Wired magazine recently published one of my pictures of Stelarc in a feature on BioArt. Here’s the image:

#CheltSciFest

The Cheltenham Science Festival is a remarkable experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was involved with 4 events and there only 2 nights, but also managed to catch a lot of other events. Here’s a photo summary, followed by a Flickr Set.

Dreamspace

Dreamspace is in the news again this week. It was the first art work i saw in Liverpool when I moved there. It subsequently blew away and killed a couple of people. My reportage is my most viewed selection of photographs on Flickr and it was a wonderful experience. I hope someone is brave enough to remake it one day. Sadly, the artist Maurice Agis died in 2009 soon after the case against him for gross negligence mansalughter was resolved. The court were unable to reach a verdict and he eventually received a reduced fine of £2500.

Hamburg

I had heard that Hamburg was a very cool place, but it really exceeded expectations. It has a lot of character, with enormous new developments around the city, edgy warehouse environments like Kampnagel, and beautiful lakeside suburbs. Here are some of the people we encountered.
