Description
The first book by influential filmmaker Barbara Hammer, whose life and work have inspired generations of queer, feminist and avant-garde artists and filmmakers. The wild days of non-monogamy in the 1970s, the development of the queer aesthetic in the 80s and the fight for visibility during the culture wars of the 1990s, Hammer's search for meaning as she contemplates mortality in the past 10 years, Hammer! includes text and images from all these periods to create a memoir as innovative and disarming as her work on screen has always been.
