The Last Slogan

Archive correspondence in a clothbound limited edition

The Last Slogan Limited Edition is a 192-page clothbound archive published by Timeless Edition (France) in 2022. It gathers letters written by Genesis P-Orridge to Jean-Pierre Turmel from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s — working correspondence that documents strategies, plans, and process without public-facing mediation. This edition is limited to 100 numbered copies and is distinct from The Last Slogan Regular Edition - Genesis P-Orridge & Jean-Pierre Turmel.

What the book contains

The primary material is the correspondence itself: letters spanning roughly two decades, drawn from Turmel's personal archive. The volume also includes an unpublished interview conducted by Nicolas Ballet in 2016, alongside theory texts and archival documents from the same source. All texts are in English.

Limited edition specifics

The Limited Edition is distinguished from the Regular Edition by its binding and accompanying materials. The clothbound cover carries a 4-colour silkscreen print. Each copy is accompanied by Paranoia Club #1, an artzine assembled as a homage to Genesis P-Orridge's influence on alternative culture, with contributions from Bazooka members and other artists. A fold-out poster is also included. The edition is numbered to 100 copies.
