Synopsis

A major artistic figure of New York’s avant-garde and industrial music, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and their wife and creative partner Lady Jaye, began a series of surgeries in 2000 to resemble one another. This bold, ambitious, and subversive act of love aimed to create a third ‘pandrogynous’ being.

Our take

Can two become one? That is just one question asked this intimate and impressionistic look at by the art and life of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV founder Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and his partner, Lady Jaye. Their aspiration to unite bodies and art is a paean as much to creation as it is to love.
