Harmony Korine Knihy

Only 23-years-old when he directed his extraordinary debut feature Gummo, Harmony Korine has since continued to serve notice that he is the riskiest, most radical young talent in independent US film.

The visual memoir captures a spontaneous road trip taken by Harmony Korine, Juergen Teller, and William Eggleston, along with his son, from Memphis to Mississippi. Through a blend of candid portraits and evocative images of the American landscape, the book highlights their intimate connection and shared experiences. It features striking photographs of gas stations, abandoned towns, and everyday life, while also revisiting Eggleston's iconic motifs. Eggleston himself is prominently featured, showcasing his distinctive style and presence throughout the journey.

Harmony Korine, the acclaimed American filmmaker, presents his third feature film, Mister Lonely (2007), a decade after his celebrated works Gummo (1997) and Julien Donkey-Boy (1999). Premiering at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and featured in the official selection at the 32nd Toronto International Film Festival, as well as the 2008 South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival, the film's original script is being released by Nieves, accompanied by 22 photographs by Rachel Korine and Brent Stewart, coinciding with its UK theatrical release. Reflecting on his creative process, Korine shares his struggles during a tumultuous period in his life, where he felt lost and disconnected. His dreams of pigs walking on walls and nuns dancing in the sky marked a turning point. After a bizarre incident involving his teeth, he realized it was time to reconnect with his artistic vision. With the help of his brother and a boxer skilled in medicine, he found the motivation to create again. Mister Lonely emerged from a place of despair, revealing that even a small amount of faith can lead to profound transformation. This work is the inaugural title in a new series of Nieves paperbacks.

Long out of print, Harmony Korine's 'zines are comprehensively collected in this new book. Filled with low-concept, laugh-inducing juxapositions of words and images, images and images, lists, monologues, cartoons, free verse, jokes, half-thoughts, fake/real interviews, innuendo and Matt Dillon's phone number. Includes collaboration with Mark Gonzales, the skateboarder and poet. This is a collection of seven fanzines from a time of innocence, exploration, experimentation, discovery, depression and hanging around.

This reprinting of Korine's first novel presents fragments of a portrait in multimedia: print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, clip art; but mostly text, including hard-luck stories, off-and-on-colour jokes, script-scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks and other scenes, exploring the world of show-biz with feet set lightly in the black humours of the real ol' world. This excretion of the danglers of public life would make William Burroughs sigh and turn the page, at least.

A "great American teenage movie" featuring real kids, described by Amy Taubin of "The Village Voice" as a "masterpiece" that profoundly impacts viewers.

Das Buch ist in Kollaboration des Malers Christopher Wool und des Filmemachers Harmony Korine entstanden. Die beiden Künstler testen in einer Serie von experimentellen Bildern den Übergang zwischen Abbild und Abstraktion aus und gehen an die Grenzen visuellen und textuellen Erzählens. Die Fotografien Korines bilden die Basis für einen intensiven Prozess des Aufeinanderschichtens, Malens, Überdruckens und Kopierens. Jedes Bild ist mehrfach zwischen den beiden Künstlern hin und her gewandert, so lange, bis es selbst nur noch in einem schattenhaften Umriss erscheint. Darüber haben sich Schichten von flimmernden, gepixelten Flächen, zufälligen Mustern, Schlieren und hingetropften Gebilden abgelagert. Die fragmentierten, verzerrten Bilder mutieren unter diesem mechanischen und künstlerischen Prozess und der Gewalt zum Trotz, die ihnen angetan wird, bleibt ihre Erzählung lebendig.
