Publisher's rather lurid printed card booklets, sewn bound at the spine into one volume. 44pp. In original grey card box with paper label to front, and additional page of signed and numbered artwork, as issued. Very light wear to the box. A very good clean copy indeed. "Kikifruit" is a deeply eccentric artist operating out of Poitiers, France, working in a number of different fields including figurative art, complex, surreal Japanese sci-fi inspired pieces (as here, where the narrative follows a group of 1980's inspired, uniformed women abducting, and erotically persecuting, other women - apparently in the service of a mysterious glowing triangle), and music, along with small run home grown zines. His work often displays repeated motifs; heavy, edgy bdsm-inspired eroticism, clowns, and street people feature heavily. Published by the anarchic Editions Bongout, originally a French art publishing project who decamped from France to Berlin in the early 2000's and who specialize in producing provocative, divisive, and seditious artworks, usually in small limitations. At the time of cataloguing they have somewhat disappeared off the radar and a dwindling number of pieces by various artists are available from third party distributors. Scarce and obscure. Signed.
