Bernhart’s large-size watercolours introduce us to a world of power, lust and cruelty. They depict grotesque sceneries with tied-up women – and, in recent works, increasingly often men – at the mercy of masked creatures, monsters and doll-like characters.

Bernhart’s motifs clearly reflect the artist’s fascination with Japan in general, and shibari (Japanese bondage) in particular, while the grotesque faces lurking behind dark trees, the burning houses and wild animals are eerily reminiscent of fairy tales gone wrong.

From the publishers of the best-selling Best Erotica series come these steamy, thought-provoking stories of sexual adventuring by M. Christian, Cara Bruce, and Mitzi Szereto among others. Whether tied up with rope or bound by a lover’s command, these authors probe the erotic spectrum of desire.

Best Bondage Erotica features twenty-one steamy stories of women and men in the throes of pleasurable restraint—intricately secured by ropes, locked in handcuffs, or bound simply by a lover’s command. Always playful and dangerously explicit, these arresting fantasies grab you, tie you down, and never let you go.

In his photographs, Daikichi Amano (b.1973 in Japan), enfant terrible of Hokusai, does not shun even the most impossible types of
embraces.

In his monstrous orgies—elaborate and disturbingly sensual encounters of otherworldly beauty that flirts with the abject—angel-
faced women frolic with snakes and earthworms, elegantly contorted and interlaced eels slipping into every orifice of the human
body. Live toads are sucked-on gluttonously, cockroaches, larvae and other invertebrates embrace, interweave, absorb and suck
on each other until they lock into a hybrid body moving as one under the waves of a new kind of irresistible sensuality.

Each animal possesses its own secret beauty – Amano has made it his calling to reveal their graces: smooth undulating eels, shiny and transparent octopuses arranged in precious and enthralling compositions. Despite being disturbing to the point of nausea,
Daikichi Amano’s works are celebrated internationally. He composes new kinds of tableaux with the bodies of actresses, animals
and insects, translates his nightmares and visions into frozen images, portraits of an almost surreal beauty.

Amano pursues this photographic enquiry into the bizarre realms of erotic imagination with an obsessive and perfectionist eye for
detail, inspired by the Dutch still-lives painters as well as Japanese mythology and the great Ukiyo-E woodcut masters of the Edo period and in particular the erotic Shunga prints.

Textures, surfaces and bodies weave themselves into abstract compositions in his photographs, with flesh, scales and skin taking on the colours of jewels. The abject becomes sublime. This is Amano’s great talent: to reevaluate death not as sterile horror, but as an aesthetic resurrection. He takes up the ancient idea of beauty as ineluctably doomed to wilt, condemned to eventually disappear and thereby aligns himself as an artist in a thousand-year-old poetic tradition that sings of all things fleeting and ephemeral.

Dumb Luck, presents the first complete collection of his work, spanning more than ten years.

According to Baseman himself, his art inhabits “that muddy spot where the line between genius and stupidity has been smudged beyond recognition.” Dark and dopey, hokey and heartbreaking, his world is populated with freaky folks, maimed bunnies, weird wiener dogs, and anthropomorphic ice-cream cones that yearn and burn just like we do. Baseman”s particular genius lies in capturing those ridiculous and all-too-often appalling aspects of being human.

Hilarious testimony to the mind of its creator, Dumb Luck is both an art manifesto and a raw celebration of idiocy.

Named “One of the 100 Most Creative People in Entertainment” by Entertainment Weekly Magazine, Baseman blurs the line between toy culture and fine art with his strong iconic images, both playful and dark, childlike and adult, id-driven and thought-provoking.

This 44 page hard-cover full-color book features the catalogue of all new work from Baseman”s most recent exhibition at Iguapop Gallery in Barcelona, entitled “Knowledge Comes From Gas Release.”

In this exhibition, Baseman challenged himself to understand the aesthetic nature of his subject matter, dealing with a sense of abstraction. He maintains the iconic nature of his work, removing the environment, the background, and the narrative while concentrating on the portraiture. The icons interact then with the abstract elements of this “manifestations of desire” within the painting. The M.O.D. bubbles become part of the figures themselves – becoming the hair, a hat, flowers – and Baseman lets the viewer interpret it all.

In 1965 Irina Ionesco, the esteemed photographer (The “Grande Dame” of French erotic photography) began photographing her young daughter, Eva Ionesco. Thus began a collaboration which culminated in this extraordinary testament to the beauty of a girl child as witnessed through the lens of her mother’s eye.

Never before in the history of photography has an artist of this magnitude photographed her child to such stunning effect. Weaving threads of baroque orientalism, gothic eroticism and surrealist fantasy, these mysterious images might well be controversial, but only if removed from the crucible of “dark love” which so ably contains and ferments them.

Voted “Woman of the Year” by Time Life Photography 1977, with over 12 books and countless international exhibitions, Ionesco’s style is unique.

The noted American photography critic A. D. Coleman writes in the Preface: “These images insistently demand a singular response….Here we have Eva nude, partially clothed, and fully dressed, enacting…the self-decoration, postures, and gestures of feminine flirtation and erotic enticement.”

With all Ionesco’s previous monographs out of print, EVA is the largest and definitive collection of 124 Eva photographs and is destined to become a classic.
Never before in the history of photography has an artist of this magnitude photographed her child to such stunning effect.

“The liberty I took in baring her is innocent….in my gaze the greatest love of all took place“
Irina Ionesco

Hermaphrodites, malformed bodies, Siamese twins, corpses, fetuses, cut-off heads, and self-torturers. Witkin’s compositions go far beyond conventional “freak show” tableaux to achieve a sinister and dignified beauty, and he includes numerous art-historical references that add context and acerbic wit.

This exquisitely produced collection of black-and-white photographs will take you, as Guy Blaisdell writes in an essay at the end of the book, into “a human afterworld … one that comes before or after the death of this world–a place where the spirits of the dead live on by sitting as works of art for their portraits, descending into our moment and returning always to their identical selves.” .

It includes work selected from a ten year period, all of which is reproduced in color to capture the rich and subtle tones of Witkin’s photographs.
The subject matter is as controversial as ever: cadavers, transsexuals, and animals are carefully arranged to create a mythology that could originate only in the mind of this singular artist.

Harm’s Way: Lust & Madness, Murder & Mayhem
Drawing from four American collections of photographs, Joel-Peter Witkin has edited a new monograph which reveals “the ability of the photograph to show us our powerlessness in the face of madness, lust, disease and death”.

Included are 19th century asylum inmate portraits with calligraphic annotations on each patients’ diagnosis, turn-of-the-century crime scenes, 19th century medical photographs, and a collection of images from the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research.

The collections are introduced by various doctors and curators. Joel-Peter Witkin contributes the introduction.

This is a retrospective look at the work of one of the late twentieth century’s most profound and disturbing artists. For this collection Joel-Peter Witkin has personally selected from his own archives his finest images, ranging from his early Coney Island “freak show” studies to his most recent work.

Witkin’s portraits of subjects both living and dead have disturbed countless viewers for their unwavering viewpoint and magically grotesque compositions.
The artist’s sojourn captured here, with each photograph a station along his path, veers between oblivion and salvation.
This book depicts Witkin’s journey up until now.

Peter Sotos recounts the abduction and murder of 8-year-old Sarah Payne, a crime that stunned England and spawned an aftermath of reactionary outcry and violent protest.

Through news bites and tabloid clippings reassembled in reverse chronology, Sotos examines the media apotheosis of Payne’s parents in the wake of her disappearance, scrutinizes the hidden motives of reporters and citizens driven to hysterical excess by grief, vengeance, and opportunism, and illumines the insatiable lusts that govern the actions of sexual predators.

Punctuated by philosophical overtures and self-deprecating quips, Comfort and Critique is a brutal meditation on fantasy and desire set against a backdrop of media banter and illicit back room activity in bars and underground sex clubs.

Supplemented by over 100 photos, this volume is possibly Sotos’ most revealing and multi-faceted work to date.

Against a densely imbricated skein of documentary fragments and confessional annotation, Mine advances a sustained, interlocutory investigation into the ulterior etiologies and malignant narcissism of underground pornography. “How dare you cling to the idea that there’s something to be understood.”

“Peter Sotos is one of those rare writers who can say, ‘The words I write are me,’ or at least as close as anyone can come to communicating who they are in words.”
—Thomas Ligotti

“We do not find in Sotos the customary delusions about childhood misery and wounded lives. For this latter-day homo sacer, wounds are not to be healed but poked and worried until they bleed. Sotos is literature’s outcast, carrying stigma like a rat carries plague.”
—Mikita Brottman

Selfish, Little: The Annotated Lesley Ann Downey

In this unnerving new book, cult author Peter Sotos delves into the abject details – at once revolting and salacious – of the brutal murder of Lesley Ann Downey, the ten-year-old victim of “Moors Murderers” Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. With frank, inimitable prose and self-deprecating wit, Sotos interweaves numerous accounts – culled from tabloids, memoirs, and television specials – of the sensational crime and its devastating aftermath with analogous excerpts from recent headlines, explicit erotic fantasies, and graphic descriptions of degrading, often-anonymous carnal encounters. Sotos persistently seeks the truth where others are afraid to look, and discovers an implicit pornography in the public lamentations of Downey’s grieving mother, media coverage of lurid sex crimes, and journalistic forays into the private lives of sex offenders. Replete with autobiographic tales of sexual excess, telling interviews, and thoughtful musings on crime, art, and pornography, Selfish, Little is a surreal “smorgasbord of unabashed vulgarity” that is the author’s most candid book yet.

limited paperback edition of 1000 copies

“…the filthiest imaginings and tallest tales of the modern-day Marquis De Sade.” — Vice Magazine

“Difficult artists such as Peter Sotos are important and books like Selfish, Little are important.” — Jeff Koyen, New York Press

In 1985, Peter Sotos was arrested. He was charged with obscenity for publishing a magazine and was later convicted for possession of child pornography. After his trial, he kept a low profile. He worked for a meat distribution company and struggled to pay down his legal bills. He underwent mandatory counseling. Then, in the late 1980s, he began writing a manuscript that, once published, would signal the mature arrival of one of the most disquieting and original voices in English literature. That manuscript was called Tool.

Opening with an excruciating set piece inspired by the crimes of Ian Brady, Tool unfolds through a sequence of vivid metafictional narratives that rain hard light on the blackest recesses of a Sadean abyss, limning a ferocious tableau vivant thronged with victims and whores and jaded cops, with grief-stricken mothers, writhing AIDS casualties, and abased gloryhole habitués. In one deeply resonant chapter, Sotos renders a coruscating account of his fateful arrest and interrogation.

Written in lean, exacting prose, Tool stands as a deftly structured, pornographically sifted psycho-literary inquest, a pneumatic masterpiece marked by preternatural acumen, stark verisimilitude, and implacable emotive gravity.

Originally published by Jim Goad in the 1996 omnibus, Total Abuse, the text has since appeared in the Creation Books collection, Proxy.
This is the first stand-alone edition. It is presented with a publisher’s introduction and a new closing essay by Peter Sotos.

Pierre Molinier; painter, photographer, narcissist, fetishist, transvestite, incestuous, necrophile, androgyne, angel, and a suicide with a pistol.

Presented in luxurious hardback is the compendium of one of the most iconoclastic artists of the past century.

The one time lover of his sister’s lifeless body and member of the Surrealist movement, Pierre Molinier’s work remains among the most transgressive and sexually explorative in modern art and psychology.

‘Pierre Molinier’ presents the late author’s work ranging from personal sketches, paintings and the innumerable photographs depicting the all-familiar dress-ups involving stockings, whips, gender-bending, masks and sexual aides.

Here lies
Pierre MOLINIER
born on 13 April 1900 died around 1950
he was a man without morals
he was proud of it and gloried in it

Prisoner of the Red Army is the debut output of a scandalous 25 year old illustrator who signs his name only, Romain.
A re-edition of the original book which was published in 1978 by Humanoïdes Associés.

This clever punk spirit, very close to the band Bazooka, captured the dark side of Japan and invented a new genre of SM, the “bondage surgery.
Since Romain Slocombe digs an obsessional and single rail, embodying his monomaniacal fantasy world in various art forms with talent.
Prisoner of the Red Army made the generational leap, many monsters have been killed by the uncontrolled flow of daily images.

One can finally read these redrawn photographs of Japanese women bound, wounded, tumefied, bandaged like real life, revealing the tragicomic atmosphere of the late ’70s, the spirit icy detachment of the chemical eye, with much as the talent as an artist in the middle of the world and already completely singular.

Updated model and cover.
Limited to 1000 copies.

Simen Johan creates surreal and narrative tableaux of corrupted youth. His images of children and adolescents are constructed by digitally manipulating and combining parts of faces and bodies belonging to people of various ethnicities, ages, and genders.

His fictional identities are depicted in equally fabricated scenarios that are replete with references to both the art historical tradition and Freudian sexuality.

The poster-perfect finish of his prints belies the disturbing nature of their content; a pubescent girl hula hoops against an idyllic seaside backdrop, as the hoop leaves bruises on her waist; an androgynous teenager cradles the head of a dead sheep on which flies are beginning to land.

“Simen Johan’s … pictures continue to plumb a troubled dream world where fantasy and ritual meet. In virtually all of these images, solitary, self-possessed youngsters appear to be engaged in bizarre masquerades… There’s an edge of horror and derangement in these photos that’s all the more disturbing because it seems as much a projection of the child’s imagination as the photographer’s.“
Vincent Aletti (Village Voice, New York)

Housed in pink hardback, Private Zone chronicles the contents of Mead’s private sketchbooks from 2001 – 2007.

Like the more risqué etchings of Norman Lindsay, Stu’s sketches reveal the artists’ personal fantasies in uninhibited exhibitionism. Girls drift through scenes as both passive and enthusiastic instigators of erotic stimuli. Their presence accompanied by the surreal – demons, perverts & members of clergy – to the mundane surroundings of everyday life.

“Stu Mead does not talk about what he shows, he talks through what he shows. He addresses himself to a part of us, to a part which, still today, stays in confusion; and he talks about that in a humorous way.”
- Foreword by Ramuntcho Matta (Stu Mead paintings collector / musician (who collaborated among others with Brion Gysin) / son of surrealist painter Roberto Matta)

Micro-bionic: Radical Electronic Music and Sound Art in the 21st Century

Micro Bionic is an exciting survey of electronic music and sound art from cultural critic and mixed-media artist Thomas Bey William Bailey, composed 2006-2008 and first published in late 2009 in both hardcover and paperback editions. This new edition includes all of the original supplements refused by the publishers of the first edition, including a full index, bibliography, additional notes / commentary and an updated discography.

As the title suggests, the unifying theme of the book is that of musicians and sound artists taking bold leaps forward in spite of (or sometimes because of) their financial, technological, and social restrictions. Some symptoms of this condition include the gigantic discography amassed by the one-man project Merzbow, the drama of silence enacted by onkyo and New Berlin Minimalism, the annihilating noise transmitted from the humble laptop computers of Russell Haswell and Peter Rehberg and much more besides. Although the journey begins in the Industrial 1980s, in order to trace how the innovations of that period have gained greater currency in the present, it surveys a wide array of artists breaking ground in the 21st century with radical attitudes and techniques. A healthy amount of global travel and concentrated listening have combined to make this a sophisticated yet accessible document, unafraid to explore both the transgressive extremes of this culture and the more deftly concealed interstices thereof.

Part historical document, part survival manual for the marginalized electronic musician, part sociological investigation, Micro Bionic is a number of different things, and as such will likely generate a variety of reactions from inspiration to offense. Numerous exclusive interviews with leading lights of the field were also conducted for this book: William Bennett (Whitehouse), Peter Christopherson (r.i.p., Throbbing Gristle / Coil), Peter Rehberg, John Duncan, Francisco López, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Bob Ostertag, Zbigniew Karkowski and many others weigh in with a diversity of thoughts and opinions that underscore the incredible diversity to be found within new electronic music itself.

The culture of self-released music and sound art is one of the most vital, yet most overlooked, phenomena resulting from the 20th century revolution in communications technology. In this volume, Thomas Bailey surveys a fascinating realm of creative activity and identifies the key individuals and developments responsible for its continued relevance in the present age.

From the networked “mail art” of the 1970s, to the home-taping boom, to the establishment of music labels dealing solely in digital sound files, this culture provides valuable insight into the evolution of the “official” art market and the artists who bypass it.

Along the way, we are introduced to a world where networks are artworks in themselves, where blank tapes and recordable CDs are fashioned into elaborate art objects, and where relative freedom from creative supervision leads to both colorful innovations and violent aesthetic extremes.

‘Unofficial Release‘ features material on mail art, cassette culture, industrial music, handmade packaging, releasing addiction, anti-promotion, net-labels, digital file sharing, circumventing censorship, extremist metal, sound poetry, imaginary music, ‘outsider’ art, tape nostalgia…and much more!

Exclusive long-form interviews are also included with artists such as Frans de Waard, Vittore Baroni, Rod Summers, GX Jupitter-Larsen and others, along with new insights from theorists and artists as varied as ‘Gen’ Ken Montgomery, The Tapeworm, Alexei Monroe (author of Interrogation Machine and more), Oren Ambarchi, and David Tibet. Also includes front and back cover photography courtesy of Scott Konzelmann / Chop Shop.
