Afterimage

Overview

Charles Borkhuis is one of our most merciless vivisectors of the logics of bodypower exchange. We're talking forensics here, not schematology. Like Hieronymous Bosch and William Burroughs before him, his art collapses cosmos onto mundus causing 'reality' beneath our feet to crack open. Demons and angels (supersolid forms of evanescent knowledge) begin a wild romp in the afterimage of that collapse. The dystopic postmodern city becomes at once funnier & more frightening. The Social Psychology Research wing of Borkhuis Poeticworks has been especially created to debrief each of us on our status as triple agents of late capitalism. You have special clearance. But so does everybody else. What the. Exactly. Add this book to your spy kit. Rodrigo Toscano.
