Olympia Moments Ltd
‘There’s a book to be written about the rooms above pubs- they are the moots, the workshops, the laboratories and rehearsal rooms, the alternative surgeries and secret conclaves of the English.’ So wrote the Times restaurant critic, A.A. Gill, himself respectably front of house, but inclined nevertheless to the shadows. ' Paul Davies, 2015
In 1999 a small group of striptease artists formed a company called Olympia Moments Ltd and for ten years pursued traditional striptease on their own terms as an underground party scene. The events took place in the private rooms of London pubs, and you had to be recommended to go. The women organised the evenings themselves and made up their own rules. Writing and drawings by Paul Davies and photographed between 2001-8. published as two artists’ books - Olympia Moments Ltd (2014) and Ulrika, Max and Jane (2026).
