“It’s a sex drug but I used to do it on roller coasters and it’s really fun. So I just wanted to celebrate that,” Waters told the UK Guardian about his giant poppers sculpture, now on display in New York at the Marianne Boesky gallery in Chelsea. The exhibit, Rear Projection, also features short re-engineered movie footage, a giant sculpture of Tina Turner as an Ike-controlled marionnette, and a portrait of the director as a child commissioned by his mother.
