When the artist Yoko Ono made the film Bottoms in 1967, officials at the Royal Albert Hall in London refused to show the 80-minute piece which consists of nothing but close-up shots of 365 bums. According to the UK newspaper, the i, Marion Herrod, the venue secretary, was enflamed by the proposal, saying: “We are concerned with the protection of the hall and I was not convinced that we should not have disruptive behaviour from way-out elements.” The film was shot in a London residence after Ono advertised for participants in a niche newspaper. Ono tweeted: “I’m very pleased my film Bottoms is finally being shown at The Royal Albert Hall, 50 years after it was banned.” The rear-filled footage is due to be screened on 3 May as part of the Summer of Love: Revisited season.
