Germination: The Avant-Garden Body-Sculptures, The Barbican London

Performance and costumes by Le Fil

‘Germination: The Avant-Garden Body-Sculptures’, was a live-sculpture performance created for LuckyPDF TV and filmed in the Barbican Conservatory. One of Le Fil''s most intriguing projects yet, it conveys the essence of his philosophy: the Filosophical concept of cyclical growth and the "sculptural body", a meeting point for different lines and ideas and components, free of any gender-constricting fashions and existing politics. "My body-sculptures aren't 'fashion' - but they do share similar notions of identity and escapism.”

Pop Me Up

POP-ME-UP

Performance project with Wieden + Kennedy London

'POP-ME-UP', a unique part-performance, part-entrepreneurial pop-up advertising agency. Le Fil was based in the W+K’s busy windows, which were located directly in the centre of the financial district and the hub of local creatives. Utilising their business acumen, Le Fil and a team of businessmen asked anybody and everybody to advertise anything in a 15cm x 15cm space within their windows for £1/day! Many flocked to the windows including acclaimed British artists Gilbert and George, who contributed an advert for their own art exhibition. With the central theme of interactivity dominating the project - this performative installation questioned commerce and creativity, performance and reality, irony and homage - whilst creating a remarkable snapshot of an active creative audience. POP-ME-UP was not only an ingenious creative endeavour, but it has since set a business trend, influencing many new pop-up offices to use empty windows for their advertising ventures.

Live art performance of Untitled (Bodies)

"(Untitled) Bodies" is a ritualistic transformation re-modifying the body's appearance into a revisioned new entity using raw clay and cling film – a material used symbolically to keep the raw clay fresh and alive. It forms a ritualistic procedure where clay is moulded onto the body, deconstructing and reconstructing its shape and presenting the male body as a new entity. The clay acted as cells and the cling film as skin, representing the lengths we go to in order to construct our own personal image and identity.
