The third title in this batch of recent art zine offerings from Black Horizons, Death is the Ultimate Luxury is a limited-edition art zine featuring sixty-four pages of black and white xerographic collage art created by the minds behind the Black Horizons visual aesthetic, though the work featured here is much more graphic and eroticized than what many fans of the label might be familiar with. Much of the work presented here starts with hardcore pornographic imagery as the raw material, then cuts it apart and distorts it into vaguely menacing and violently-tinged scenes, using a rough, cut-and-paste aesthetic heavily reminiscent of certain strains of old-school industrial music visuals; flipping through this grotesque Sadeian patchwork of tough homoerotic pornography, abstract collage, malfunctioning Xerox textures, violent penetration, monstrous facial deformations, and macabre imagery, one is reminded of antecedents like Merzbow's Pornoise/1kg-era collage art, Mike Williams' Southern Nihilism Front graphics, the black and white cassette covers of Texas noise artist Richard Ramirez. Most definitely not for anyone under the age of eighteen, nor the biologically squeamish. As with the other art zines that we've picked up recently from Black Horizons, this is nicely assembled, with a dark grey linen cardstock cover and black vellum end papers, housed in a black mylar bag and issued in a limited run of sixty-three copies.
