TANK Interview

Originally appeared in TANK, The Bubbles Issue on May 8, 2016

Unreal realities and the trouble with fandom

I wasn’t familiar with TANK magazine until editor Thomas Roueché got a hold of me in order to do this interview. Thomas sent me a few recent issues, and I thought the was pretty ace for a edgy fashion thing that clearly keeps it together: smart, sparkly, knowledgeable about the past (Sergei Parajanov and Raymond Roussel in the same ish), full of unexpected articles and tales, mixed and matched with surprising art, tasty photos, and not-overly-slick fashion shots.

The current issue, which features a two page interview with yours truly, is obsessed with Bubbles, from the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk to reality-tunnel filter bubbles to the science of soap. Check it.
