![]() ![]() The hilarious, erotic, rude, revealing and sometimes poignant moments that he captured became the raw material for artworks that Waters dubbed his “little movies.” In these novel photographic sequences, Waters skewers cultural symbols and stereotypes, and elaborates on the cultural and subcultural themes that have been central to all his work: race, sex, sanctimony, glamour, class, family, politics, celebrity, religion, the media, and the allure of crime. Waters began producing still photographic works in the early 1990’s, scrutinizing videotapes of movies – first his own, and then over-the-top Hollywood movies and forgotten art films that have long fascinated him – and then photographing video images off of his television screen. The exhibition is organized by New Museum Henry Luce III Director Lisa Phillips and Guest Curator Marvin Heiferman. In a career that now spans forty years, John Waters has moved from the margins of culture to the mainstream, applying his iconoclastic perspective and aesthetic to filmmaking, writing, and now to photography. Encompassing images from the recognizable to the obscure, John Waters: Change of Life brings Waters’s uncensored “dreamland” images out of the cinematic realm and into another cultural domain, offering us an opportunity to explore our most basic human impulses together in public. NEW YORK.- From February 7 – April 15, 2004, the New Museum of Contemporary Art presents John Waters: Change of Life, a retrospective of recent photographic and sculptural works and three early, unreleased films by the iconic filmmaker. ![]() ![]() **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story.
