PETER “SLEAZY” CHRISTOPHERSON – LIVE AT L’ETRANGE FESTIVAL – ART OF MIRRORS:

Subtitled “Homage To Derek Jarman”. Simon Fisher Turner and Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson made plans one morning in July 2004 – on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Derek Jarman’s death – in order to mount one of the greatest tributes the Étrange Festival has ever presented. Beyond his talents as a film maker, painter and botanist, Derek Jarman was an artist who seized in the best way the very essence of mutations unleashed by a whole generation, at the dawn of the 70’s. As a privileged observer of the incredible deflagration brought about by the punk movement, the industrial music and gay liberation, he leaves behind him a fascinating and deeply moving work, in which the members of Throbbing Gristle, among others, took part. Unreleased before, this new work composed for several short movies is finally released. The ultimate gift from such a talented composer, and of whom there is still so much more to discover.
