© Brion Gysin, Oct. 1959, ‘Danger Series’ burnedshoes: © Brion Gysin, Oct. 1959, 'Danger Series’ Portrait of William S. Burroughs in front of the Théâtre Odeon, Paris. A radical cultural visionary, visual artist, writer and performer, Gysin introduced his lifelong friend, writer William S. Burroughs, to the techniques of “cut-ups” and “permutation”. Together, they experimented in sound and image, using collage, tape recorder, light painting, writing and film. Their work has had a pervasive influence in the arts and on underground and popular culture, affecting figures such as David Bowie, Patti Smith, Genesis P. Orridge, Keith Haring, Michael Stipe, and Bill Laswell. (+) » more photos of William S. Burroughs « | » more photos of famous people « -- source link
