As Vice’s former picture editor, curator of online gallery Tiny Vices and snapper for untold fashion magazines, Tim Barber is a prolific image-maker. His new book Untitled Photographs, is a selection of his images taken over the last 15 years and tonight sees the London launch of an exhibition of the images where Barber will also be signing copies.
Held together by no specific theme, his images are poetic plays on light and space. Taking images of everyday experiences, there’s an anonymity to his photographs that hints at stories the viewer can only imagine. Whether it’s a girl teetering over the precipice of New York or an alien smoke puff hanging above a kitchen sink, Barber’s camera intimately and lovingly records moments in life.
Tim Barber: Untitled Photographs exhibition and book signing is tonight at 7pm at Mother, Biscuit Building, 10 Redchurch Street, London, E2 7DD
Poet Kate Tempest was possibly our favourite feature in issue two of Twin. We love her attitude, her words and her new video for Line in the Sand directed by Joe Roberts.
Making our way down one of London’s most beautiful shopping routes – Old Bond Street – this Hermès window stopped us in our tracks.
Photographed by Andrew Meredith and styled by Laura Kay – the pair have created a lovely lo-fi 3D effect with the covetable, colourful and classic Hermès scarves, incorporating them cleverly into the image itself. Twin says trés chic.
“…if what you’re making isn’t a high camp movie but a documentary about child trafficking, and your famous trainwreck star keeps genuine experts from fronting such films, and your end product features a scene in which a very young and serially abused child labourer is required to comfort a Hollywood starlet, then it would seem fair to cast the production as such an obvious moral failure that it’s worth anatomising the wrongheaded decisions that led to such a flawed idea being aired – and wondering if they are not symptomatic of a wider cultural malaise.”
This beautiful book – Fashion Etcetera by Sam Haskins – is top of our cultural wish-lists. We spotted this Tommy Hilfiger edition in Colette this weekend and quite frankly we need it in our lives.
