© Harmony Korine for Le Point d'Ironie

As La Fab. hosts a retrospective of the American artist, let's revisit an archive that has become iconic.

The images derive from an unreleased video by Harmony Korine, tentatively entitled The Ass Sanctuary.

Commenting on his project for Point d'Ironie from 1999, he writes: "All I do is smoke cigarettes and complain. I'm happy only every once in a while and that is when I see something in one of my pictures that I know is good. These pictures are of boys fucking and sucking each other. I have no genuine reason for them being made, only that at a certain time I felt they should exist. Maybe one day I will be happy again."
