Chris
Cunningham, director
of the Aphex Twin
video Come To Daddy
created Rubber Johnny.
The film was originally
conceived as a brief
TV commercial for
the Aphex Twin albun
'Drukqs.'
The disturbing video
briefly explores
the world of a mutant
child who is kept
locked in a dark
room under the influence
of forced medication
with only a small
dog for companionship.
In his twisted mental
state, he experiences
audio, visual and
kinetic hallucinations
and delusions in
which he is surrounded
by music and beams
of light.
The expression 'rubber
johnny' is a British
slang term for a
condom. Chris Cunningham
himself plays the
part of Johnny,
who was created
by using a combination
of digital morphing
and applied prosthetics.
A DVD of Rubber
Johnny includes
extensive 'making
of' features.
