MY MOUTH,MY BLACK HOLE: SUKA OFF ON CHANNEL 83
A major update to Channel 83: a saucy selection of images from Suka Off - possibly my favorite up and coming performers in the European scene - have been added to the website's gallery.
I have been awaiting with increasing impatience to be able to announce this update, as Suka Off's work has been a constant inspiration for me and my projects in recent times. Their work offered me precious insights that have helped opening up a new direction for both Channel 83 and my writing.
The photos that you can find in the gallery are a selection of promotional shots accompanying Suka Off's performances and are shot by Piotr Wegrzynski - one half of the performers' core elements.
PUNK SURREALISM: RIOT QUEER
Bruised, battered and scarred: Riot Queer - Italian artist and founder of the ''Punk Surrealism'' movement - has given birth to an army of zombies, adorable and melancholic wounded bodies sketched out on paper, board and canvas all sharing a romantic, tragic and sarcastic character.
Covered in as many tattoos as injuries, these imagined people with cute cartoon-ish features do not shy out in front of the truth, which they speak aloud and boldly. A hole in the middle of the chest, a gash on the breast, a tear to the neck...Riot Queer's work sees everybody as wounded: he makes no exceptions and takes no prisoners.

FROM THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Vanni Bassetti's series of photographs document - without adding any unnecessary poetry - the reality of the slaughter house. Seven photos for a few poor lambs...they went on a trip and never came back. The bare reality of meat and its processing is served on a plate for you to observe. Eat up!

YOUNG PEOPLE WANNA FUCK
Six works by Tisbor (aka Nicola Vinciguerra) - Italian illustrator you may already know from the cover of several recent records from the power electronic and noise scenes - have been added to the gallery. Politically uncorrect, sarcastic, devious and - at times - simply unnerving and incomprehensible, Tisbor's world is made of cannibal zombies, friendly torturers and wounded TV presenters. You can try making sense of it and look for a logic of sort or just go with the flow, follow him into his surreal, messy and absurd dimension...the fun is guaranteed, and so is the filth!

ALTERATIONS
Marco Rea's work strives to depict altered psychological states - radical deformations of one's perceptions - new sensorial realities resembling dreams, memories, visions taking shape during a state of trance.
Acting upon the surface of pre-existing images - generally pertaining to a serial production (billboards, ads, etc) - Marco reinvents both bodies and faces bringing them out of context, in his world of comatose allegories. With the technique normally pertaining to writers, street artists and other creative entities active in the cityscape, Rea tries to transform the faces invading his daily life into the protagonists of an imagined world.
