Officials Irritated by Deprivity
A new acquaintance made me aware of this story. I don’t even know the people involved or was aware of their art but I was quit irritated with the situation and felt bad for those involved.
.
RemyFX, a Montreal special effects masterful artist, was arrested October 29th because of his work. Well not his work but his personal projects. His now removed from the internet website InnerDepravity was apparently the troublesome matter with Canadian Law officials. He was quoted as saying:
.
“I recieved visit from police thursday night, ive been arrested for criminal charge because im the owner and creator of the website InnerDepravity.
They took my computer and i pass the night in cell.
My crime is : Corruption of morality.
we live now in a dictaturship society, we cannot use art as we want, we cannot use horror in art !”
.
Good news is his other site, RemyFX, an online portfolio, is still up. I am including bellow a small galery of pictures from Inner Depravity. I am keeping them small in case you cannot stomach such images but if you want to see them full size just click on each thumbnail.
.
Now there is a help the cause mission statement with a bit of info created by some of his friends and some discussions going on of Facebook…but I cannot find anywhere anything official of his arrestation. From what I reada some say it is partly the CBSA Policy On The Classification Of Obscene Material or the Prostitution laws protect against ‘moral corruption that are invloved. In my opinion neither are involved since a) no prostituion involved b) its not an import product. Not having the exact charge bugs me in pronouncing my opinion.
.
But if he truly was arrested purely for ‘offensive to some’ material…it is complete ridiculous. Yes his scenes are gore and horror related…but its make-up. Its a photo shoot. Its art. Everyone involved is of legal age! Who on other thinks they have the right to draw the line on what is offensive? No children or animals were portrayed! And we see these things all the time in movies.
.
And who is next to be accused of immoral and offensive behavior. BDSMers and Fetishists? Do I need to fear going to a play party? I find the whole thing beyond disturbing.
