Sexopathy. Marcos Trinidade
Bilingual Portuguese/English edition, hardcover, 88 pages, 16.5 x 12.5 cm. Chili Com Carne, November 2024
'Sexopatia' is a graphic novel by Marcos Trindade (one of the aliases of artist Tiago Manuel). The work serves as an inventory of 'emotional emptiness,' structured in three movements that explore sex as a form of social escape. The author draws from real sexual proposals found in newspaper classified ads, giving them graphic form to reflect on contemporary loneliness and apathy. With an aesthetic that blends the raw and the satirical, the book offers a carnivalesque and sometimes unsettling portrait of local culture and human interactions mediated by commercialized desire.
