# Occult (Counter)Culture

**Carl Abrahamsson and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Skype)** | 27.10.2015

  

 **Carl Abrahamsson** is a Swedish writer living in Stockholm and an “occultural entrepreneur.” Since the mid 1980s he has worked with a number of artists as editor, music producer, filmmaker, photographer, and curator. For instance, he has worked with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge in the “occultural network” *Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth* and on the production of records and books. Abrahamsson edits the annual publication *The Fenris Wolf,*which is dedicated to the interface between art and esotericism. In addition, closely associated with *The Fenris Wolf* is Abrahamsson’s *The Institute of Comparative Magico-anthropology,*a combination of archive and think tank. Alongside writing and teaching, his current focus is on filmmaking, above all with the documentary series *An Art Apart*, which portrays radical artists.

 **Genesis Breyer P-Orridge** is a poet, musician, performance artist, and occultist and one of the most dazzling figures in recent music history. In 1969 she cofounded *COUM Transmissions,* a subcultural group of British musicians, underground filmmakers, and action and conceptual artists, which led in 1975 to the groundbreaking industrial band *Throbbing Gristle*. After the breakup of the band, Breyer P-Orridge founded the experimental band *Psychic TV*in 1981 with Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson and participated in the founding of the occult network *Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth*(TOPY). At the beginning of the 1990s Breyer P-Orridge and Lady Jane Breyer P-Orridge initiated their *Pandrogeny Project*, in which both altered their appearances to appear more like each other, striving to challenge or suspend gender divisions and identifications. The *Padrogeny Project* is being continued to this day by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, even after the death of Lady Jane in 2007. [www.genesisbreyerporridge.com](http://www.genesisbreyerporridge.com)
