Skunk Anansie Autographed Photographic Print
There aren't many performers for whom launching themselves into an audience feels quite as natural as it does for Skin. India Fleming catches exactly that moment in this photograph from Skunk Anansie's sold-out show at den Atelier, Luxembourg, on 21 March 2025, now reproduced as a limited-edition print hand signed by Skin.
The image is gloriously chaotic. Skin is suspended above the crowd with microphone in hand, one arm reaching towards the barrier as the audience surges beneath her. Fleming shoots through the edge of the security rail, placing the viewer almost inside the action rather than safely looking on from a distance. Grain, movement and blown-out stage light add to the feeling that this happened in a fraction of a second.
That physical relationship with an audience has been part of Skunk Anansie's live identity throughout their career. Formed in London in 1994, the band broke through with the ferocity of Paranoid & Sunburnt and Stoosh, pairing heavy alternative rock with songs that confronted politics, race, sexuality and relationships head-on. Tracks including Weak, Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good) and Charlie Big Potato became enduring parts of a catalogue that has always made particular sense on stage.
The Luxembourg concert arrived as Skunk Anansie entered another chapter. The band were preparing to release The Painful Truth, their first new studio album in almost a decade, and the den Atelier show combined new material with songs reaching back across more than 30 years. Skin later remembered the energy of the Luxembourg audience as “phenomenal”, recalling that she had once again ended up stage-diving into the crowd.
Behind the camera was India Fleming, a UK-based music and portrait photographer with more than a decade of experience. Here, she doesn't try to freeze the performance into something pristine. Skin's movement, the blur of the crowd and the stark black-and-white treatment preserve the disorder of the moment, making the photograph feel much closer to being there than a conventional stage shot.
It's exactly the kind of exchange Good Energy was created to celebrate. The series looks at what happens between performers and audiences during live music, and in this case there's almost no separation between the two at all: Skin has quite literally left the stage behind.
