Born Neil Andrew Megson in 1950, reborn as artist Genesis P-Orridge in 1971, reborn once again as a gender-erasing pandrogyne with h/er other half Lady Jaye since 1993 – Genesis P-Orridge has never let art, life or evolution stand in the way of imagination. Working with First Third Books, artist Leigha Mason and music journalist Mark Paytress, Genesis has drawn together a controversial lifetime of memories.

Genesis has selected h/er unseen and personal photographs to illustrate h/er journey of life as continuous creativity. H/er time with legendary bands Throbbing Gristle and Pyschic TV are included, as are many of the myriad band members over the decades like Sleazy, John Balance, David Tibet, and Alex Fergusson. Fans looking for categorical photo histories of the complete band lineups should seek solace elsewhere, but appreciators of Genesis’s physical and psychic evolution will be enthralled by this special testament to a life spent exploring the outer limits of creative expression. Viva La Evolution!!! — From the publisher.
