The definitive guide to the artist's epic five-part film series, filled with hundreds of his fantastical pictures and surveying a project that takes the biological model of sexual difference as its conceptual departure point. Three essays articulate the diverse themes of the series and explore its innovative aesthetic vocabulary, while interviews with key collaborators, a composer, a costume designer, a make-up artist, technicians and actors reveal the working process. A long essay charts the work from the 1990s onward, and a glossary illuminates the most far-flung references, from psychoanalytic studies to Mormon lore and hardcore music fanzines. Besides stills from the five films the volume gathers related sculptures, photographs, drawings and storyboards, most of them never published before.
