Michael Pybus and Dazed and Confused

Dazed and Confused were asked to collaborate with artist Michael Pybus on a recent project called An Experiment in Collaboration, which will be shown for a month at the Jerwood Gallery. The basis of the project was invite six multi-disciplinary artists to collaborate with a variety of professionals including a forensic psychiatrist, a computer game designer and a biophysicist.

Michael has worked closely with Dazed in the past, showing his work at the Dazed gallery and building sets for specific Dazed projects. He wanted to take his recent work, a series of painted plinths, and move them into a fashion context, so I was put forward as a stylist to represent Dazed in this photographic collaboration.
