In Conversation: Harmony Korine and Catherine Taft

[@willfloydart]

He really leans into his perspective on the performance of these artist talks. And there's some Kaufman vibes to his catalog of interviews. He kind of thrives in this environment where he's covertly mocking the landscape he's in while also creatively adding his own voice into it. The art speaks for him way better than he ever could and he doesn't pretend like it's not the case. Respect to harmony and his catalog

[@kidsagain6218]

I always wondered what it was since the Letterman interviews. I appreciate your articulation, you made it real!

[@wisef00l76]

Seems like pointing out the obvious is all millennials do these days.

@@ejr7155 yeah, I'm talking about the comments

[@eamonshannon326]

Kids, had a plot,; the movie that made him famous, that is why he does not like "plots".

[@drummersnail115]

I was there! Harmony was really cool, let me take shots of him for my photography course, and we talked about his films. He signed my forearm in sharpie and some woman at the bar gave me 100 dollars to get it tattooed. A memory forever engraved...

[@humanmodeproductions]

Ugh. Things have gotten so lame around here

[@TheRehabbaby]

Love how he describes plots and plotting (as a negitive)..so obvious but never thought of it like that.

Can you timestamp it please?

[@businessasusual8357]

you can still see some of that shy kid inside him that was introduced to us on letterman so many years ago

[@user82938]

I totally feel him on looping a 20 second clip for hours. I've been doing that since the late 90s, when I got a computer that made it possible.

[@ImaginalComponent]

I love that Paul McCarthy is in this AND HES WEARING A MELVINS T-SHIRT!

What a poser.

Single-handedly owns all trolls and haters by saying any/every reaction is a perfect one.

what an articulate and composed gentleman

[@liltick102]

3:45 what he says onward here is massively fucking relatable

[@Stuharris]

I've always enjoyed the anti-interview vibes Harmony brings to these stale NPR tote-bag smelling events; definitely not afraid to scare the white women. Imagine if H.K. and Tom Sachs collaborated on a something...

[@skatinghippo366]

Florida’s premier faith-based artist 😂😂😂

[@ejr7155]

Harmony talking about Michael Mann and Miami Vice is so accurate for Gen X He is obviously such a product of our formidable years I don’t think Korine puts on a show Yes he’s entertaining to watch But it’s not fo show

[@intergalactic_fruitbody]

Never could have said so many things I feel about life and art so calmly and eloquently. Thank you for this interview. Regardless of whether or not what Harmony is really saying, and what I hear him saying 😂 are the same...🤷‍♂️ i don't know. I feel like He was just in and out of my brain experiencing the horrors and potential beauty in human experiences overall. Like someone who is often afraid of many things, or experienced 1 or more traumatic events may call what I call an intense experience that gave me a lot of information, "a bad trip". And that's unfortunate, but also interesting enough to be entertaining to analyze with our human experience to keep us engaged.. these kind of things. The weird trance music he's discussing I feel is something Genesis P-Orrige did; trying to put the audience in a literal trance or altered state, to destroy minds, blast off. Not for me necessarily, but it's a happening that's relevant. Loved it❤️‍🔥 It tapers off the last half😅 but I appreciate you!

[@jameswood608]

Looping discussion makes me think of psychic TV and acidhouse video installations

[@SafetyPropaganda]

I truly hope that this art world liberal woman employed by Hauser LA, which is Less than a half mile from SKID Row, having the audacity to call Florida a “hellscape” is lost on no one

[@johnjamesdaniel3169]

She probably could give two shits because she's paid and her LA is safe, sanitized and free from any of the grime. You'd think that'd dawn on her since she's interviewing Korine who thrives in that zone.

[@zg-mzga]

both can be simultaneously true which seems to be lost on people who use the term liberal as an insult. maybe if people stopped choosing sides then people wouldn’t get butt hurt over things they don’t agree with

33:50 LMAO got her. 😂

[@Ranix5]

Honestly I think she did a good job on this. She’s obviously from another world and Habitus than him and for the way he tries to make her uncomfortable and makes fun of her, she really handled it quite well. Also I think she asked many interesting questions even tho she was being quite elitist often

[@Gringar-h6m]

Like number 222 here. I think Korine is for real; like a highly sensitive person. I feel I have a lot in common with him, but I plot a lot, so he wouldn't like me 😂

[@zg-mzga]

why is paul cutting out

[@Ranix5]

Is the film for him an emotional movie tho?

[@Puzzle_Dust]

He doesn't want to talk to her...

[@alexabadia4209]

Harmony is like a cinematic drug addict looking for the next high. Or the highest high. He has lost interest in the mundane form of cinema. He wants extreme, he wants chaos, he wants intuition and feeling, he wants abstract.

I guess that’s why his latest movie looks like a shitty ps2 game.

[@OlafSager]

Thermal imaging cameras have been available for civilian use since the 1970s. And now someone wants to tell me that this is the ultimate in modern art? Even the money is worth less than it was 50 years ago. Inflation is everywhere. Art knows no exceptions.

[@seanfisher3624]

Well it’s the concept behind it.. cameras were invented a 100 years ago yet they are still being used.
