    Iker Seisdedos in conversation with John Waters

    John Waters, the maestro of cinematic audacity, is an American filmmaker, writer, and visual artist whose works defy conventions and revel in subversive humour and provocative weirdness. Born in 1946 in Baltimore, Maryland, Waters has garnered a cult following since the early 1970s for his underground movies and unapologetic character. His unique ability to transform trash into treasure has made him a countercultural legend and a true iconoclast in the world of cinema.

    Iker Seisdedos is a Spanish journalist based in Washington, where he works as a correspondent for the Spanish newspaper El País. He writes about erratic politicians, tornadoes, mass shootings, the fentanyl crisis and other aspects of the American dream. He grew up watching John Waters’ movies and wishing his hometown, Bilbao, was a little more like good old filthy Baltimore. Parallel to Greg Gorman photographing Waters for this DUST cover story, Iker finally made the pilgrimage to Baltimore to the house of his countercultural hero, discussing the past, the present, and Waters’ aspirations for his future burial.
