"Isle of Death: Experiments in NO-Futurism"

zine / digital collage, 2020 - 2023

"NO-Futurism is an attempt to capture the overwhelming technicolor hell of the present day. It is angry and despairing all at once. It is jagged and harsh on the senses. It worries violently about the ultimate fate of the human race. It makes a mess of everything. It breaks down in the corner of the room, hyperventilating. It is chaotic, claustrophobic, brutal, scrappy, junkish, vibrant, burnt-out, bleak, cheap, electric, eclectic, esoteric, and, above all else, utterly doomed.

NO-Futurism is a world with No Future"
