Bøger af Alex Mazey

Alex Mazey's playful text art sequence follows Ghost through a hyperreal metropolis of both capitalist and eschatological peril. Woven between the visuals are virtuosic lyric poems: poignant, philosophical and irreverent.

Through the precession of simulacra, we have arrived at a landscape of e-girls and sad boys, the aesthetic values of our time transposed onto the ecstatic communications of the hyperreal. Through Baudrillardian analysis, Alex Mazey attempts to trace a genealogy of Sad Boy Aesthetics, charting its earliest occurrences to progenitors like Yung Lean and Bladee, before moving towards more connective and investigational readings of Lil Peep.

Living in Disneyland is a short - yet urgent - tour de force exploration of late-stage capitalism, told through the lens of a Baudrillardian perspective. Through an aphoristic and epigrammatic style, Alex Mazey delves into the absurd (hyper)realities of contemporary living, attempting to decipher and understand ''what it means to observe surrealism in the 21st Century, to feel as if you must be dreaming.''
