Repost• @purplefashionmagazine Chilean-born filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky traveled to Mexico in the 1960s with Marcel Marceau’s mime troupe and refused to leave. He found a land of surrealism and strangeness that fed his appetite for the bizarre. In Mexico, he created 100 avant-garde plays in 10 years and moved into cinema. "Walking around in Mexico can be dangerous, but it’s such a joy. Art is everywhere — on the walls, in publications, in the architecture, in the colors, in the sounds, in the noise. I saw things there that I’d never seen before, anywhere in the world. That exaggeration produces people who have an incredible culture: they are not afraid and follow their creative desire wherever it leads, beyond good or bad taste. They are passionate about their work. It’s just impossible to sum up the incredible creative world that you have in Mexico." — Alejandro Jodorowsky @alejandro.jodorowsky interviewed by #DonatienGrau for Purple F/W 2021, the Mexico issue.
