Artist's Statement:
HEMATOMA - ADVENTURES OF MAN, CORPSE AND ME
The multidisciplinary episodic artbook hematoma, intertwining criminal poetics and documentary fiction, explores a love and vengeance story of passion and obsession, revolving around the fictional drug Neocorte, and between the main characters of “Man”, “Corpse”, and “Me”.
The book aims to offer a memory experience that transcends genres, by blurring the boundaries between real and fiction, poetry and evidence, esthetics and pathology.
