Artists
Viv Albertine

In the follow up to her acclaimed Clothes…, Music…, Boys…, pioneering punk legend, writer and musician, Viv Albertine offers a fearless dissection of one woman’s obsession with the truth – the truth about family, power and her identity as a rebel and an outsider.

To Throw Away Unopened explores human dysfunctionality, the impossibility of true intimacy and the damage wrought upon us by secrets and revelations, siblings and parents. Albertine also examines how we can rebuild ourselves and come to face the world again, giving a portrait of the love stories that constitute a life, often bringing as much pain as joy.
