Overview
"Infused with her apocalyptic vision of American spiritual collapse and the violence of sexuality, Lydia Lunch's uncompromising work has defied categorisation and been largely underrepresented in mainstream media. The Gun is Loaded fills this gap, narrating her evolution from No Wave singer, through art-house editor, to spoken word poet, celebrated author and photographer." "The Gun is Loaded demonstrates Lunch's continued position at the forefront of underground American culture. The first volume of its kind to document her visual art and her portrait series, accompanied by prose, poems, lyrics and narratives." Featuring an introduction by Jack Sargeant, as well as a stunning collection of archival material, The Gun is Loaded is a provocative journey into the vision of one of America's most fearless and pioneering daughters.Synopsis
