There are few artists as provocative as Bruce LaBruce, the incendiary queer punk auteur who is both admired and reviled across the globe. His endeavor to unite high and low culture (e.g. independent film and porn, high fashion and gore) seems like the execution of his own definition of glamour: the elegant union of two seemingly contradictory styles or ideologies.

Produktbeschreibung
There are few artists as provocative as Bruce LaBruce, the incendiary queer punk auteur who is both admired and reviled across the globe. His endeavor to unite high and low culture (e.g. independent film and porn, high fashion and gore) seems like the execution of his own definition of glamour: the elegant union of two seemingly contradictory styles or ideologies. Parallel to his filmmaking and photography, LaBruce has been a prolific writer for decades in numerous media, publishing acid, intelligent and stark texts that oscillate between short stories, essays and reviews. Presented for the first time in Spanish, this volume brings together a selection of those texts, where the author's gaze offers us a portrait of the underground culture of the late 90s and early 00s, taking us from Julia Roberts to Dereck Jarman via Debbie Reynolds, River Phoenix and Gus Van Sant, as he recounts his experiences in places such as New York, Berlin, Toronto, Milan and Tel Aviv.

Autorenporträt
Bruce LaBruce (Southampton, 1964) se dio a conocer en su juventud a través del zine queer punk J.D.s y desde entonces se ha convertido en un referente mundial de la transgresión, con una actitud irreductible y un talento incomparable para la provocación. Sea mediante sus fotografías, sus escritos o sus películas, es uno de esos autores que jamás dejan indiferente y cuya acidez es inconfundible. El punk, la ironía, el fetichismo, la permeabilidad entre la alta y la baja cultura (por ejemplo entre cine independiente y pornografía, o entre la moda y lo kink), la rabia, el sexo, el activismo político y la brutal desarticulación de tabúes sociales son sólo algunos de los burbujeantes recursos que han construido su ecléctica trayectoria. Ha dirigido escandalosas y esenciales películas del cine independiente como No Skin Off My Ass, Super 81/2, The Raspberry Reich, Otto, or Up with Dead People, L.A. Zombie, Gerontophilia, Pierrot Lunaire, It is Not the Pornographer That is Perverse..., The Affairs of Lidia o The Visitor. Ha publicado diversos libros y fotolibros, como Ride, Queer, Ride, The Reluctant Pornographer, Porn Diaries o Death book. Asimismo, ha colaborado profusamente con numerosas publicaciones, tales como The Guardian, Vice, Index Magazine, Exclaim!, Eye Weekly, National Post o Toronto Life. Su obra es admirada y censurada a lo largo de todo el mundo.
