David Wojnarowicz, In the Shadow of Forward Motion, with an introduction by Félix Guattari, 2020
Diligent recreation of an iconic and still vital artist zine by David Wojnarowicz, on behalf of Primary Information in New York. Originally made in an edition of only 50 copies in 1989 and having since garnered a verging on mythical status, within the publication Wojnarowicz juxtaposes text and image as a method to examine historical and global mechanisms of power symbolized through the technology of their times, and uses his fractured experience of life to expose these technologies as weapons of class, cultural, and racial oppression.
