Surrealism Is NOT For Sale

Language Is Hell - Niko Vassilakas

"On each of Language Is Hell 's fourteen pages, Vassilakis breaks with canonical forms of asemic writing by using recognizable Latin glyphs. But he arranges these letters into smoldering layers that effectively cancel out individual letters and create abstract lines and black abysses from the residual angles and colors. The letters that remain recognizable -- a few vowels and consonants here and there -- assert themselves from chaos, without organizing it, and form stacks and chains that don't create much, if any, semantic meaning."
