„S/He Is Still Her/e“ (2024), directed by David Charles Rodrigues, is the official and intimate documentary about the final year of the pioneering music and avant-garde icon Genesis P-Orridge. As a pioneer of the industrial genre (with the bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV), Genesis used the own body as a work of art. In the film, Genesis reflects deeply on the own legacy and the transience of the body, and comes to terms with the impending end of life.
