LUNG LEG by RICHARD KERN, 1985. Outtakes from her iconic photoshoot with Kern. “Lung Lug would often bring over her new pet to shoot with. She showed up at different times with a can of worms, a jar of crickets, and a box of larva.”

“Well, it would be a crowded world if we didn’t have death to re-arrange the scenery.”
/ Kenneth Anger interviewed by Purple Magazine in 2018 /
Funny how shocking it feels to type the words “His Satanic Majesty Kenneth Anger (3 February 1927 – 24 May 2023) has died”. (Sprueth Magers Gallery announced his death earlier today via Twitter). The pioneering experimental underground filmmaker, author and occultist was, after all, 96 years old! I always assumed whatever pact Anger made with the devil invested him with immortality (or that he’d at least reach 100). Repeatedly seeing Anger’s homoerotic masterpieces like Scorpio Rising (1964) and Kustom Kar Kommandos (1965) at an impressionable age (often at the much-missed Scala Cinema in London) made a profound impact on me, and his two salacious wildly irresponsible volumes of Hollywood Babylon are like sacred religious texts! What a total original Kenneth Anger was. His art will live forever. Pictured: portrait of Anger in his youth in the 1950s by Edmund Teske.
