商品描述

The third and final volume of Ken Hollings' personal reflections on Trash Aesthetics.

In Paradise, Hollings tells the story of three kings who squandered everything they had in a grandiose spectacle of waste.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria, "King of Rock 'n' Roll" Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop," all shared the same doomed innocence. Their lives and early deaths were connected through individual displays of unfettered extravagance that brought them to the very edge of ruin. Each of them lived out their personal ideals of beauty and pleasure--even after the money was gone.

In his reworking of Dante Alighieri's Paradiso, Hollings presents Heaven as a place of rebellious, but tragic, self-indulgence. As he notes in his introduction: "You have to be in Heaven to see Hell."

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《肯·霍林斯（Ken Hollings）對垃圾美學的個人反思的第三卷和最後一卷。》

在《天堂》中，霍林斯講述了三位國王的故事，他們在一場宏偉的浪費表演中揮霍了一切。巴伐利亞的路德維希二世（King Ludwig II of Bavaria）、搖滾之王（'King of Rock 'n' Roll'）艾維斯·普雷斯利（Elvis Presley）和流行音樂之王（'King of Pop'）邁克爾·傑克森（Michael Jackson），都擁有相同的注定無辜。他們的生活和早逝通過各自不受約束的奢華展示相互聯繫，將他們推向毀滅的邊緣。他們每個人都實現了自己對美和快樂的個人理想——即使在金錢耗盡之後。

在他對但丁·阿利吉耶里的《天堂》（Paradiso）的重新詮釋中，霍林斯將天堂呈現為一個叛逆但悲劇性的自我放縱之地。正如他在引言中所指出的：「你必須在天堂才能看到地獄。」
