What is Like Me about?

Hull, England, 1970. In a run-down commune in a tough port city, a group of social misfits - mostly working class, mostly self-educated - adopted new identities and began making simple street theater under the name COUM Transmissions. Their playful performances gradually gave way to work that dealt openly with sex, pornography, and violence. COUM lived on the edges of society, surviving on meager resources, finding fellowship with others marginalized by the mainstream. At the core of the group were two artists, Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti. As their work evolved, Cosey embarked on a career modeling for pornographic magazines, which she claimed for herself as a conceptual artwork, using it to forge a specific position in relationship to 1970s feminism. In performances, Genesis pushed himself to extremes, testing the limits of the human body.

Other, Like Me: The Oral History of COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle is a 2020 American-British documentary film directed by Marcus Werner Hed and Dan Fox, about the music and art groups Throbbing Gristle and COUM Transmissions. It covers the history of both projects in archival film footage and photos and interviews with their members.
