Esoterrorist / Lust for Paper

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.

Art&Culture | Interview

January 12, 2026

Alexander Wessely moves through sculpture, spatial installations, film and large-scale scenography with monolithic, ceremonial clarity and brutality. Light, body, architecture collide in spaces that feel almost ritualistic. He’s worked with The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Grimes, Anyma, Arca. Shown at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Konserthuset. Played with scale at Sphere in Las Vegas and at Madison Square Garden. He was the creative mind behind the 2025 Nobel Prize Ceremony, tracing light from the first spark of dawn. Stark. Precise. Brutal, if you want to call it that. And it works. Every single time. Leaves you altered, mesmerized, lingering, unsettling, like a forgotten memory that presses against the skin of the mind. In this conversation for NASTY, he reflects on perception as constructed, solitude as focus and why meaning in a world of infinite simulation only appears through limits.
