I first found Hiltron on myspace, due to the fact we share a passion for the wacky world of 14's Gallery of the Absurd.
I was immediately attracted to Hiltron's darkly humorous, satirical
photographic manipulations.
The subject matter: the vacuity of
modern-day celebrity worship in our culture, of which Paris Hilton,
mafia daughter, porn tramp, of the freakish bone structure, lazy eye,
and bizarre body-part proportions, is the alpha and omega.
We are in the middle of five constitutional crises—there is only one reason the citizenry has not stormed Washington D.C. and the White House to run the homosexual Republican crime syndicate out of town—but the networks are all Anna Nicole, all Paris, all the time. (Hint: that's the reason.)
And now Hiltron has launched Hiltron's own site, Planet Hiltron.
This one killed me. Anyone who has read any part of this site will know I am often lost in the music and culture of my youth. I mean, look at that collection of losers. P-Diddy? I must say I respect the man for making a fortune recycling rock songs from the seventies and eighties, laying some lame-ass nursery-rhyme chorus over the beat. Go Diddy. The Olsen Freaks? The vagina travelogue girls ... Britney, Lindsey, and Paris?
Fools rush in ...
(Be sure to click on the pop-up so you can study Hiltron's fine work.)

Ditto my JFK obsession.

And I like Hiltron's politics, too.
Planet Hiltron.

From Mx.* 14 of the incomparable Gallery of the Absurd
comes another masterpiece. And she writes, "Diaper Man might not be a well-known Hollywood celebrity, but in our
eyes he's an international star. This jewel of a photo has been
circulating the internet for years and we think it's time for him to
make his appearance on Gallery of the Absurd. We blended Diaper
Man's disturbing pinkness with elements of Engrish nonsense for this
monstrosity of a Valentine's card."
I wrote her and informed her that I had a picture to trump DiaperMan.
There
was a time, if one entered "idiot" into google images one of the first
three pictures would be be a most amazing visage ... as John Lennon
said in I Am The Walrus,
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
You will want to click on read more to see the photo that tells us the sun never sets on the british empire.

I was working on a series of photograms with an artist friend. The idea
was to make images (photograms) with everyday household items that
get used
as spanking implements. Then I made some rose photograms
and
was fooling around and found the bottom image and put
the two together. My friend flipped out and
wouldn't
work on the project anymore.
Oh well, I like the picture.
Think I'll do a limited edition of erotic art prints.
And if she ever gets rid of her deeply-closeted boyfriend,
I'll give her the spanking I know she so desperately craves.

This footage was originally a
short film that appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, in 1963, I
believe. I digitized it, re-edited, applied some effects and added my
own composition "Redhead Tells The Sun."
"Redhead Tells The Sun"
was inspired by a psychic named Blair--our lives briefly,
passionately intersected a couple of years back while I was on the lam
in LA. Although skeptical of her powers at first, I came to
believe very quickly that I was dealing with someone who had a foot in
another dimension at all times.
She
often mused why I had "pulled" her into my existence. She believed I
had been close to some edge and she came to pull me back from it. I
think it
was the other way around.
I'll tell you this: if Blair told the Sun something, he'd listen.
In
any case, the music complements the other-worldliness of the
wild horses, the erotic power of the images, the flight from the abyss
and the engine of creation as represented by the fire.
