Description
Inferno, Volume 1: The Trash Project by Ken Hollings explores the fascination with trash and its cultural significance in America during the 1960s. This personal inquiry delves into the world of exploitation movies, underground cinema, and teenage culture, uncovering a complex web of connections and coincidences. Hollings examines how certain films, such as those featuring "the Purple Death," have influenced each other and contributed to the development of specific genres. He also investigates the role of hot rods, surfers, bikers, and beach parties in shaping teenage culture during this period. Through his idiosyncratic gaze, Hollings reveals a hidden universe of masks, fake identities, and secret desires that underpin these cultural phenomena. This thought-provoking book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art, history, and popular culture.
