Pink Warm Belly Of A Dying Sun

Coney Island beaches littered with decomposing whale carcasses, graffitied up as if it’s 1982 again. Thermobaric bombs wring diamonds out of twisted, charcoal-black lungs. An Ikebana presentation of black lilies in a spent tear gas canister turned into a vase, seen through the eyes of Damien Hirst’s cut- up, formalin-preserved shark.* These are some of the verbal paintings that appear on the self-titled release PINK WARM BELLY OF A DYING SUN. The project features an unsettling, rugged score composed by PRAIRIE (Marc Jacobs) and the mesmeric voice and writing of AINT ABOUT ME (Lukasz Polowczyk).

The work explores the grotesque, awe-inspiring beauty inadvertently lodged inside the real and mediated nightmares of our times. It attempts to derive emotional and aesthetic pleasure from witnessing the world as we know it unravel, all the while acknowledging that this pursuit is a failed attempt to cope with an overwhelming reality.
