C-R-U-X

C-R-U-X is the fantastical brainchild of Matthew Glamorre and Bishi — a radical, cross-disciplinary collaboration that combines live performance, sound, visuals, and technology.

Musicians, lighting designers, poets, digital artists, filmmakers, and interactive technicians create new works live in a TV/sound studio environment. An invited audience observes the creative process on large screens in the gallery area and is encouraged to join in the action 'behind the curtain'.

I am the official photographer for C-R-U-X — a truly wonderful project to be part of.

Portrait of Neil Libbert

Neil Libbert is a renowned reportage and portrait photographer, celebrated for his ability to capture compelling moments with striking authenticity. The first photograph he recalls taking was of a waterfall in Wales during his childhood.

After studying at the Regional College of Art in Manchester, Libbert began his career at the Manchester Guardian before moving to its London office in 1961. Over the years, he worked with prestigious publications such as The Sunday Times, The New York Times, and The Observer. His career spans more than five decades, during which he has documented significant historical events and created evocative portraits of notable figures, including Francis Bacon, Helen Mirren, and Harold Pinter. 

His street photography, in particular, is both arresting and poetic, showcasing his keen eye for detail and human emotion. Spending the afternoon in a visual dialogue with him was truly inspiring.

This photograph was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery 

for their permanent collection.
