The Mistakist Declaration by Harmony Korine
1. i have never been one to gravitate toward the labelling of things. But i feel forced to declare my adherance to a mode of creation known as "mistakism."
2. i am a "mistakist" and all the work I produce adheres to the tenants attached to the label/movement.
3. (factors involved include)
4. All modes of work exist to produce a single body of work. each facet builds upon the other.
5. you can never differentiate between the seperate modes of creation.
6. A completely unified aesthetic.
8. there is no such thing as a true mistake. only a more modern rethinking.
9. Suicide is a show of strength.
10. only in randomness and "mistakes" can one truely announce what is too deep to express in a direct and true way.
11. football games, science projects and explosions.
12. rather than direct a scene - document the action
14. Heritage - Lineage - Prejudice.
15. grammer means more when words are mispelled and used incorrectly in the traditional sense of the word.
17. Jokes without Punchlines.
18. Hermits and rural Lonliness
19. A "Mistakist" must believe in God over all else.
this is how I made Julien Donkey Boy
The DOGME 95 is early "Mistakism."
As I wrote in my poem I FOUND MY SOUL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL: mistakes were exciting, inroads in the art of unknowning, the rush of not rushing, of just being, how marvelous!, this appointment: to be alive.
let your mistakes be a way of remembering what it takes to be free.
