threat and horror
We see images of a man being set on fire for a photography shoot, with the flames blowing out of control; we are told this man was left with mild injuries. We see brief footage from the film Repulsion, in which a woman seems to experience frightening delusions in her empty home.
language
Infrequent very strong language occurs ('c**t'), as well as occasional strong language ('f**k'), and milder terms such as 'bloody', 'shit', 'arse', 'piss', 'God' and 'damn.
sex
There are moderate sex references, including to sex shops.
drugs
There are verbal references to cannabis and LSD misuse within a historical context. References are made to the negative effects of using psychedelic drugs. Still photographs show people holding cannabis joints. Drug misuse is not condoned by the work as a whole.
suicide and self-harm
There are infrequent visual references to suicide and self-harm. A photographic piece of artwork depicts a naked woman lying in a bathtub in the implied aftermath of a suicide attempt.
injury detail
A still photograph shows a man with a bullet wound, however, this is darkly lit and shot in black and white.
nudity
Still photographs depict natural nudity, including child buttock nudity. The sequences occur within the context of album cover artwork.
