Staged 2003, Wire Farewell Performance, Barbican Hall, London, UK
“My first design for a concert was Flag: Burning with the British post-punk band Wire. I didn’t know much, but I was bored of seeing the typical silhouette of a band: three standing people with instruments and amps and one person sitting with drums on a raised platform. So I presented the group within four frames as a combined portrait or mask. I made illustrated cue sheets from which we ran the lights and video projections.”
