New York-born Lydia Lunch is a singer, poet, writer, actor, visual artist, and the fourth subject of our Sound & Vision series. From signaling the end of Punk with her first band, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, to presenting art installations as a reaction to Tracey Emin I want you to smell the blood on the sheets Lunchs work is provocative to say the least. In this film, featuring excerpts from her live performances, she talks about how Goya and Marcel Duchamp are amongst her favourite artists.

  • Yawn. This narcissistic bore loves to talk about herself. She is fooling herself if she thinks truck drivers are going to be fans of her "art". She is the same as she was thirty years ago, still feeling young teenage emotional distress.

  • @LastBankJob Agreed. Shallow stuff. The gratuitous attempts at being extreme and controversial remain uninteresting, and highly tedious. The emperor's not only wearing no clothes but is stuck in a perpetual state of adolescence.

  • She doesn't strike me as shallow. From what I have seen of her (I have only seen a few of her interview clips), she seems to be intentionally trying to provoke, not to be "cool," but to force people to examine issues she wants discussed. Most artists and performers do enjoy attention, but she seems to have have some substance, as well. I am not sure whether I like her music, but if she gets audiences to think about anything important for more than a second, good for her.

  • Everyone thinks she's a total cunt.

  • Lydia, Adrien is in high school now incredibly and I have a daughter Sierra eight years old also. I have a poster from Rosemary's Baby the Greek version I believe where it shows the devil with the baby in it's arms..I have the original on my wall but purchased a very great copy and it has your name on it if I could have any way to send it to you. Saw you in Paris book fair vid..LOVE PARIS..want to move there with my kids and what's Barcelona like? Christine

  • The reason Lydia has haters is the same reason Nancy Grace has haters; it is the ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT! The fact is Lydia Lunch will always be this incredibly hot cult hero and she started shock b4 shock was even in style! She continues to fascinate and more importantly still she is alive and well so watch out y'all she's dangerous, might even cause you to think (but she's cute!(>
