Richard Kern
Richard Kern (born 1954) is an American
underground filmmaker, writer and photographer. He first came to prominence as part of the cultural explosion in the
East Village of New York City in the 1980s, with
erotic and
experimental films like ''The Right Side of My Brain'' and ''Fingered'', which featured personalities of the time such as
Lydia Lunch,
David Wojnarowicz,
Sonic Youth,
Kembra Pfahler,
Karen Finley and
Henry Rollins. Like many of the musicians around him, Kern had a deep interest in the aesthetics of extreme sex, violence and perversion and was involved in the
Cinema of Transgression movement, a term coined by
Nick Zedd.
