infinitylandpress@gmail.com 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.
I chose to believe that several known (and less known artist) have turned the aesthetic destruction inwards by staging poetic suicides as a closure to a mayor body of work. Their lives would be read like straight lines, their works indicated as dots upon these lines which reach contextual perfection in death: the last masterpiece. The protagonist life becomes a real life drama, his action, work and achievements are enacted as chapters in a novel or tracks on a concept album. The final act of self-annihilation would be his last sublime creation. I fantasise about earning my own pedestal in this private pantheon of beauty. – Martin Bladh

Infinity Land Press provides exclusive, clandestine publications which will not be picked-up by or circulated within the established book market. Founded in 2013 by Martin Bladh and Karolina Urbaniak, Infinity Land is a realm deeply steeped in pathological obsessions, desires and private, aesthetic fantasies. At first sight, our output might be mistaken for an obvious outlet for 'guilty' pleasures such as voyeurism and narcissism, but Infinity Land is first and foremost a compulsive, annihilating search for impossible beauty. In the words of Yukio Mishima "True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys."Martin Bladh:
