The Polaroid on view belongs to the intimate body of works made with their partner Lady Jaye as part of the Pandrogeny Project. Through a series of performances, photographs, and body modifications, the pair sought to merge into a single being, the “pandrogyne” , collapsing binaries of male and female, self and other, art and life. These Polaroids, unmediated and immediate, are both love letters and documents of transformation, capturing moments where identity itself becomes fluid, unstable, and shared. Across five decades, P-Orridge’s practice blurred boundaries between music, spirituality, politics, and desire, challenging systems of control while proposing new forms of collective becoming. Revered and reviled in equal measure, their legacy continues to influence generations of artists questioning the body, belief, and the structures of power embedded in culture.
