The Thurston Moore music is in the interior chapters. There\u2019s also some musicless \u201cextras\u201d afterwards where the models are videotaped showering, doing naked jumpingjacks, getting a creamy white goo squirted on them. It\u2019s probably liquid icing, I\u2019d assume.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cGroovy And Linda\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nRichard Kern started making experimental films in the 1980\u2019s in New York with Lydia Lunch and Henry Rollins, and it looks like he\u2019s still there today. But now<em> VICE Magazine<\/em> is sending him all over the word on assignment to shoot naked girls for their NSFW section on their website\u2019s menubar. In Elements as well as in <em>Shot By Kern<\/em> we see an extension of his earlier cinema of transgression, although in 2013 the audience might be a bit inured to the shock value. The real girl models rolling around panty-clad on a bed seem so prosaic after ten to fifteen years of solid porn mass consumption where everything is available at the click of a mouse. The scene has changed too. NYC isn\u2019t very boho now. Even Willimaburg is high rent. It\u2019s good to know that Kern\u2019s style never changed much from<em> New York Girls<\/em>. If anything it\u2019s softened. No bondage or lit candle insertions here. The music on this DVD is as an atmospheric complement to Kern\u2019s art photography. Kern\u2019s work has always been art, never porn, per-se. Kern\u2019s teamwork with Thurston Moore goes at least back to 1986 when he shot the cover to Sonic Youth\u2019s third album<em> EVOL<\/em>. Now, 27 years later, their birthing of this baby demonstrates their collaboration is still fresh. Art photos, art rock, punk rock, art videography &#8211; call it what you want. The music and naked girls on this dvd are good fun, but the disc was impossible to extract without damaging the cover sleeve. ~RR<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;House Sitter&#8221; is a clip\/chapter on <i>Elements<\/i> that made it past Youtube censors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r3o8Q2E3RNo\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Bonus] Elements, in SHOT BY KERN Tweet music and video dvd insert review by Reviewer Rob Elements, DVD containing the music of Thurston Moore, approx 59 minutes, which is an insert in back cover of the photo art book Shot By Kern (hardcover with DVD, 8.9 x 11.8 inches, 288 pages, $ 39.99 released May 2013 by Taschen &nbsp; &nbsp;(dvd [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":453,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[574,742,598,589,581,741,573,582,730,641],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-art-photography","category-books","category-high-fashion-bikinis-swimwear-night","category-film","category-indy-film","category-music","category-nightlife","category-opinion","category-pop-culture"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8728,"url":"https:\/\/reviewermag.com\/press\/2013\/06\/05\/8728\/","url_meta":{"origin":9011,"position":0},"title":"SHOT BY KERN is released by Taschen","author":"Reviewer Rob","date":"June 5, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"[Press Release] Kern goes continentalReal girls in real settings around the world The internet video site VBS, launched by the ironic and ultra-cool American magazine Vice, features original content on a wide range of subjects dear to the hipster heart.
