Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
John Sex was a fixture of NYC's 1980s East Village performance scene alongside Klaus Nomi and the Pyramid Club crowd. This video preserves a queer aesthetic that mainstream culture wouldn't touch for decades.
Director Tom Rubnitz also made 'Pickle Surprise' and 'Strawberry Shortcut' — he's basically the patron saint of unhinged 80s video art. His entire filmography is under 30 minutes combined.
