Trash Humpers is a collection of works by American filmmaker Harmony Korine. Korine, who gained attention in the 1990s with his films Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy, is known for his radical and decadent visual aesthetic, which sharply exposes the distortions of modern society through the ecology of outsiders and minorities. As an artist who works across the boundaries of photography, video, and literature, his uniqueness has had a strong impact on cultural scenes around the world. This book is a photo book that follows the worldview of the film of the same name released in 2010, and records the destructive and decadent performances of creepy masked figures obsessed with trash cans and telephone poles in the back alleys and suburbs of Nashville. In order to reproduce the texture of the footage shot on VHS video, the photographs are intentionally rough and have a faded impression with noise. The book is structured as if it condenses the cult-like energy of the grotesque beings living in the shadows of the city, and it strikes the viewer with a strong sense of discomfort and at the same time a strange fascination. Colin's unique "anti-cinematic" method is elevated to a new realm of expression through the medium of photography.
