The legendary No Wave performer Lydia Lunch returns to New York with a photo exhibition and installation. Chris Nutter interviewed her for HuffPo.
1980
An excerpt:
CLN: Why did you decide to come back to New York now?
LL: I left New York in 1990 before it turned into Disney. I'm here now for the people who still remain who know what this place once was. That's in part what I wanted to do with So Real It Hurts. Coming back now just feels right.
CLN: Who is your New York audience today?
LL: To sum up an audience is to insult the individuals who are there. Anyone who comes to me comes for the comfort that I can bring them. My work is for people who aren't afraid to go into the deepest corner of their obsessions, who need to understand and exorcize their demons, and the horror of it all. To break it down it's almost always the most sensitive, the shy boys, the weirdoes, the non mono-gender, the outsiders who come to me.
CLN: You mean the archetypal old school New Yorker.
LL: Absofuckininglutely.
...
CLN: Do you feel the need to live in New York again?
LL: I wouldn't say I need New York, but I would say New York needs me.
