In this Place Space issue,
visionary designer Todd Oldham focuses his incredible eye on the
beauty and wit of John Waters quirky abode. Todd’s exquisite
photography results in elegant and humorous still lifes and portraits
of America’s beloved King of Sleaze in his disarmingly sweet
and kindly Baltimore, Maryland home. As a director, John Waters
has achieved legendary status with films such as the art house explosion
Pink Flamingos to the family friendly Hairspray. His unique sensibility
is evident in every corner of his home, which as Todd says “looks
like the offspring of a warped public library and the Museum of
Modern Art.”
Beautifully designed, this John Waters book comes wrapped in a custom
designed poster for your home as well as tear out postcards featuring
books from Water’s shelves such as “Sex on Horseback”
and “Gay John”! With
inspired essays by Todd Oldham and renowned photographer Cindy Sherman,
this Place Space issue is sure to delight hardcore Water’s
fans and newcomers alike. Like a sophisticated game of “I
spy”, roaming through John Water’s overflowing bookshelves
for clues to his inspiration is a true delight.
AMMO’s Place Space books by the incomparable Todd Oldham,
launches a new design series that celebrates singular places and
the
uncommonly devoted people who create them.
