My Take
Peter Christopherson, or Sleazy, is the sort of restless creative I find endlessly fascinating. The same person designed iconic album art at Hipgnosis, co-founded boundary-pushing bands like Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and Coil, and directed Nine Inch Nails' notorious Broken film. That range tells me he was never content sitting in one medium. I respect artists who treat photography, design, video and music as one continuous vocabulary rather than separate careers. His work was confrontational and clearly not for everyone, but that's exactly what I value about it. Losing him in 2010 at 55 feels early for someone whose influence on industrial and experimental culture still lingers.
