U.D.W.F.G. presents Shintaro Kago – Industrial Revolution and World War Published by Hollow Press in September 2015 second printing – limited at only 150 copies (digital print) printed in an A4 format on 170g paper 32 pages + fullcolor cover (soft spine + hard frontcover and backcover) german glued paperback binding Foreword by James Harvey (the creator of the GAIMAN award-nominated short Masterplasty) ‘You know Kago’s iconic image of a head exploding and it being filled with cheap plastic junk, mass-produced goods? The reason it’s horrifying is because it suggests that we aren’t that special. As a civilisation we mass-produce plastic shit because we are mass-produced shit. We are a joke told through our pointless repetitive lives, and it’s that black joke that’s at the heart of Shintaro Kago’s work.’-David Surman, from James Harvey’s foreword
