Taboo of Dirt (1988) | Slate

Taboo of Dirt

A series of metamorphosing images criticise a society in which dulled minds feed on tabloid scandal. Focuses on the 'shapeless workers fuelling the fires with the bodies of their own kind'. As the workers seek sexual release, the muddy pictures give way to line drawings of the erotic landscape: curves, valleys and mounds becoming the sexual act itself, are whipped up into a charcoal frenzy of chaotic abstract images of frustration. The end brings release and a return to calm.

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
