To Putrefaction / 2013

Putrefaction: disintegration of biological material (e.g. proteins) through the operation of microbes, disintegration of corpses (cadaver); the agents of putrefaction distinguish themselves partly through a (foul) distinctive smell: hydrogen sulphide, marcaptans, indole, skat-ole, phenol etc. Also appearing: methane, fatty acids, basic substances, usually poisonous, like neurine, putrescine, cadaverine and muscarine.

To Putrefaction, a collaboration with Martin Bladh is the second part of a trilogy — including the series Coup de grâce and No Breath of Sound: The History of Drowning — which explores the artist's personal obsession with beauty and death.

To Putrefaction, 2013 was the first book in print by Infinity Land Press.
