Linder has been cutting up bodies for more than 50 years. More than a hundred are now on show at the Hayward Gallery.
The punk aesthetic of her photomontages is as fresh today as it was in the 70s when her iconic image of a naked female torso with lips for breasts and an iron head graced the cover of the Buzzcocks single Orgasm Addict. A censored version is the poster girl for Danger Came Smiling, the title borrowed from one of Linder’s own post-punk albums. Both the original untitled paper collage and a 2015 lightbox titled It’s the Buzz, Cock! are part of the show.
