Promo video for "There are No Shadows On Our Maps" graphic exhibition by Costin Chioreanu, "The Complete Infinite" book by Gina Sandulescu's release.

"There Are No Shadows On Our Maps"
For years I kept myself locked in a vault, in which and from which I licked past wounds, digging graves and mausoleums, more or less special, offerings to my senses, while, paradoxically, I was  trying to change the world with what I did. I had to dissect myself and accept my crap. I saw that disgusting animal, born of hatred of those who crippled him, who wasn't thinking at all and was cutting into flesh when it wasn't the case when I saw beyond the curtain, and a soul destroyed by the need of foreign love of personal comfort. 

So far I talked about my childhood in my work, about its death, about the disappointments people put me through, about opinions, about spirituality and how I see life after death ... now a very difficult time came in which I dissect myself, the overwhelmed by the gray city and the unexpected human aggression.

That's all about this extreme collection of 10 handmade artworks made by Costin Chioreanu and exposed as framed originals.

"The Complete Infinite", the literary debut of Gina Sandulescu will see the daylight at DBE 4 Festival and it will be released as a refined hand-numbered limited edition of 100 copies by Twilight13media. The book contains also 10 additional and original artworks, special made for this release by the romanian artist Costin Chioreanu (The Official Artist of Roadburn Festival 2013, Illustrator for bands like Darkthrone, Aura Noir, Ulver, Arcturus, Hexvessel, Arktau Eos and many others)

"The Complete Infinite" is a personal journal, which points out the darkest moments of a desperate quest for reasons and love during the last days of humanity, as it is now. The story is like a tricky chameleon, born in a world where metaphors are the primal matter, which can trick the reader in many ways. Tricking is there not for the sake of making things complicated, but in order to get closer to the essence, having at the same time an adorable tonic shade of black humor, both in the visual or ideological expression field. Even tension and darkness are omnipresent, the motif of drama is actually the lack of light and love. The main character becomes the judge, the sentenced and the executioner at the same time, on it's way to become infinite and complete, so translation to english was extremely difficult, in order to keep the same extreme complexity of juxtapositions and surreal introspections.

All in all, this story is a grand declaration of war to communist spirituality and sentimentalism, a symbol of the pure underground, as it is presenting the complete menu of things which people usually don't want to hear, talk or think about.  

This is a pure native scream of spiritual consciousness, unaltered by any social or commercial inputs or addons for any hidden purposes, as most of releases of any kind are having today. If you are thirsty, then this is like a fountain. If you want to hear, 
then this is a great symphony.

Both premieres will be at Dark Bombastic Evening 4 Festival - 17-18 August 2012. Alba Iulia Fortress. Transylvania. Romania
