To sum up the life and work of British artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge is close to impossible.

A couple of descriptions are still valid after these 50 years of active creativity and provocation. P-Orridge is a romantic existentialist and a cultural engineer. Everything is both work as such and seed for cultural and behavioural change.
