Esoterrorist / Lust for Paper

Spotlight on the cult publication by Genesis P-Orridge

Esoterrorist is a publication that, much like its creator Genesis P-Orridge, refuses to be confined by definition or category, inhabiting a space that is deliberately unstable. In approaching its content, we have chosen to translate it into the form of a cut up, a process of dismantling and reassembling words that finds its origins in the experiments first of Brion Gysin and then William S. Burroughs. His shadow has always lingered over P-Orridge’s work, not only as a spiritual guide but also as a linguistic and artistic presence that shaped the way life and art could be fused into a single, inseparable entity. In this sense, Esoterrorist situates itself in a lineage of radical experimentation where language is not just a tool of communication but a living material to be torn apart and reconfigured.
