Nights at the Circus
Photographs by Irina Ionesco
| Published 31 March 2008 in Dazed & Confused Magazine
Born into an eastern European circus before moving to Paris as a teenager, Irina Ionesco's photography is defined by fantasy, performance and theatre – not least in her renowned portraits of her teenage daughter, Eva.
It's not every photographer that is influenced by their early work as a snake charmer. But then nothing about Irina Ionesco is average, from the dramatic theatrical community she was brought up in, to her controversial photographs of her daughter Eva. It's for these – often nude – photos of Eva from the 1970's that Ionesco is most well known. For her, they reflect the early loss of her own mother and stimulate her complex relationship with her daughter For her critics, such as the Canadian authorities who seized her work at customs, they are dubious erotica worthy of censorship.

How music legend, performance artist, and notorious "wrecker of civilization" Genesis P-Orridge met dominatrix/performer Jacqueline Breyer and fell madly, deliriously in love; how cosmetic surgery helped them become one; and how their romance was interrupted by a temporary setback called death

It wasn't simply a matter of love at first sight for Genesis P-Orridge that morning in 1993, when he lay on the floor of a dungeon in New York's Chelsea neighborhood belonging to author and dominatrix Terence Sellers, though that was certainly a factor. As he would later discover, the impossibly tall, angelic woman who materialized in the next room as he awoke, bleary-eyed from the unwholesome activities of the night before, was the same woman his 11-year-old daughter had personally picked out for him a few months before.
As he watched, the woman paced back and forth, slowly removing her street clothes. By the time she'd slipped on her silk stockings, wriggled into her black rubber peekaboo miniskirt, and donned her leather motorcycle cap, a prayer was forming in Gen's mind.
If we can be with this woman as lovers, as partners, for the rest of our lives, thought the front man of the legendary bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, who'd easily piled up enough experiences and enough identities to justify that royal "we"—it's all we'll ever want in the universe.
