What Else is in the Teaches of Peaches

Author(s): Peaches

Music

15 years ago, peaches exploded onto the scene with the single 'Fuck the Pain Away.' Since 2000, Peaches has become a symbol of progressive (and transgressive) pop culture, shattering gender stereotypes, promoting sex positivity and constantly pushing through boundaries of art and performance. WHAT ELSE IS IN THE TEACHES OF PEACHES presents a mesmerising collection of Holger Talinski's evocative and sometimes erotic photos of transgressive musical icon Peaches, on and off stage, with accompanying commentary from Michael Stipe, Yoko Ono and Ellen Page.
