Phil Fisk - Wayne McGregor / Observer

Famed for his cerebral experimentation and edgy imagination… he had no access to elite ballet schools growing up. But he did have John Travolta and disco to spark a lifelong obsession.”

What a wonderful concept!!

Such beautiful shots too :)

Phil Fisk - Time Passing...

…or Phil just passing the time.

A left over prop skull was transformed by time lapse, and stylist Vic Twyman, over several days in lockdown.

Phil commented on the project that, “the edit started to border on horror but was eventually rested in somber reflection. I hope. And it was all achIeved in a garden shed… except the edit.”

The beautiful soundtrack was created by Phil’s mate Alan Fairnie.
