'Simon was a magic man. We loved him dearly and admired his beautiful and brilliant, ‘Rapid Eyes’. His sexual, anarchic and life-full approach to our world was unique.' - Gilbert and George

'Well-written, extremely intelligent and obviously a labour of love...If you've never read REM then this must count as vital reading - primary material for anybody interested in 'industrial' culture, modern art and the state of the world.' - Headpress

As one of the leading commentators on, and contributors to, the artistic and creative subculture of recent years, Creation Books are proud to present a tribute to the life and work of Simon Dwyer (1959 - 1997): the founder, editor and chief writer of the world-renowned counter-culture journal, Rapid Eye.

During the early nineties, Dwyer’s various writings were crystallised in three highly acclaimed deluxe volumes. Now, the very best of these interviews, features and essays are brought together in a single-volume: Rapid Eye Movement.

With a brand new forward by Genesis P-Orridge, Rapid Eye Movement reveals the progressive writing and creative foresight of Simon Dwyer, and provides a fascinating insight into the works and ideas of numerous avant-garde artists, musicians and film directors, including Gilbert & George, Psychic TV and Derek Jarman.

Rapid Eye Movement is published as Simon Dwyer’s last testament to our troubled but stimulating times.

From reviews of previous editions:

Rapid Eye is still a pioneer in revealing the occult and the extreme as the true escape routes from the banality which suffocates contemporary art and life.’ - L-SCENE

‘Awesomely intoxicating...There’s more ideas per inch in this book than anything you’ll read this year.’- YOUR FLESH

‘If ever a book expressed the consciousness of the marginalised and disaffected, this is it.’ - BIG ISSUE
