ASMR at the V&A – 2 / Belinda Wright, Vivien Leigh, Sandie Shaw, PJ Harvey, Adzogbo leg wraps

// Please listen with headphones for this film // Our collection of Theatre & Performance objects includes props and costumes from many iconic moments in the history of circus, dance, drama, film, opera, pantomime, popular music – and much more. Often these objects played their part in a spectacular visual and auditory experience, but now – when they're displayed in our galleries behind glass – they are normally silent. We invited sound designer and performance-maker Julie Rose Bower to document our preparation for a new gallery display, and in this film we see and hear conservator Susana Fajardo working on pieces in Textiles Conservation. This film features: Belinda Wright’s ‘Harlequinade’ tutu – 00:34 Vivien Leigh’s ‘Cleopatra’ cloak – 01:24 Sandie Shaw’s ‘Eurovision’ dress – 04:34 PJ Harvey’s ‘Lyrics’ dress – 12:00 Adzogbo raffia leg wraps – 14:30
