The Erysycton Factory. André Ferreira.
In Portuguese, 24 pages, paperback cover, colors. Chili with meat. 25 x 18 cm. 7 EUR
André Ferreira's new publication (previously published in the collective zine Venham + 5 and in the solo title Ouro Formigas, by Bedeteca de Beja) opens the author's fairy and fanciful universe to colour, which seems to further increase his symbolic tendencies and less indebted to naturalism than to symbolism. Curiously, however, precisely to return to the natural. The Erisychton Factory is a discourse that brings together, at the same time, lines of reporting, testimony and libel. This is a short story that can be read as a psychedelic walk around the continuous destruction of the rural and natural landscape of our and other countries, full of mythological interpretations, based on one of the myths told by Ovid. With the garb of exploded compositions, magical characters and pictographs that reduce the complex reality of the destruction of the landscape by industrial occupation, there is a profound lesson here for the desperate and continuous suicide of the human species (leading to everything being successful).
This publication is the 29th issue of the fanzine Mesinha de Cabeceira, which has known several mutations over the years.
