DREAMLAND FANS |
Hex and Dze say Long Live Dreamlanders! I'M OBSESSED WITH JOHN WATERS AND HIS KNACK FOR EXPOSING THE TRUE FILTH, GLAMOUR AND LIBERATED POINT OF VIEW BREWING IN THE HEART OF AMERICA VIA HIS AMAZING FILMS. IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER AGO WHEN I FIRST GLANCED AT DESPERATE LIVING, POLYESTER, FEMALE TROUBLE AND PINK FLAMINGOS. CECIL B. DEMENTED CHANGED MY LIFE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. PINK FLAMINGOS MADE ME RUN WILD DOWN STREETS AND WITHER IN SAND PITS OUT OF SHEER GLORY FOR LIFE ITSELF. DESPERATE LIVING, POLYESTER AND FEMALE TROUBLE HAD ME SINGING THE SOUNDTRACK FOR NEARLY A MONTH! SINCE THEN, JOHN HAS INFLUENCED MY LIFE AS A VIDEO ARTIST TREMENDOUSLY. I HAVE MET LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS, NAMELY MY PARTNER IN CRIME IN THE ART WORLD. A MISFIT NAMED DZE JONES WHOM I HAVE FORMED A COLLECTIVE WITH BASED ON KITSCH, TRASH AND EXTREME LIFE DESIRES! WE HAVE COLLABORATED AND MADE MANY VIDEOS BASED ON THE CARNAL BASIS WITHIN US, INVOLVING VIOLENCE, SEX, AND SHEER ROCK N ROLL. CURRENTLY, BLINDMANS BUFF, A VIDEO MADE BY DZE BASED ON MARY BELL WAS INFLUENCED PRIMARILY BY JOHN WATERS EARLY WORK AND EXPERIMENTAL PROCESSES. WITHOUT JOHN'S BRILLIANT VISIONS ON CELLULOID, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER FELT MORE INSPIRED TO LET LOOSE THE BEASTS WITHIN US. WE TOAST OUR CUPS OF WILD TURKEY TO DIVINE DAILY, WE LOVE MINK, WE LOVE MARY, DAVID, COOKIE....WE LOVE THEM ALL! LONG LIVE DREAMLANDERS! |
