A resemblance of an epiphanic illusion

  The fictive creations eventually all become truths. If truth is to be strived for, then the best thing is to live within a world of fiction to the greatest extent possible. Let the imaginary become real by embracing yourself in new ways – ways you imagined weren’t possible but now suddenly were. Disconnect and reconnect forever until there is only a semblance of a reflection of what once was, forever more. We imagine as we foresee, and foresee as we roam further onwards into each other’s fantasies. That is also a veritable challenge, as someone else’s imagination might actually be getting closer to yours. That is one possible “ultra-truth” – the temporary merging of fictions in cataclysmic passion. When that existential fuzz-fizz evaporates, new trajectories become obvious, as two dissolve and become one plus one plus one, in an infinite possibility pasted on colourful imperatives and invectives. What remains is no longer merely a memory but actually already someone...

“Sacred Intent” is here

  Sacred Intent gathers conversations between artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and longtime friend and collaborator, the Swedish author Carl Abrahamsson. From the first 1986 fanzine interview about current projects, over philosophical insights, magical workings, international travels, art theory and gender revolutions, to 2019’s thoughts on life and death in the the shadow of battling leukaemia, Sacred Intent is a unique journey in which the art of conversation blooms. With (in)famous projects like C.O.U.M. Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) and Pandrogeny, Breyer P-Orridge has consistently thwarted preconceived ideas and transformed disciplines such as performance art, music, collage, poetry and social criticism; always cutting up the building blocks to dismantle control structures and authority. But underneath the socially conscious and pathologically rebellious spirit, there has always been a devout respect for a holistic...
