Rahozah Feres is the title of the new Nazi Knife issue, numbered #9.5. Two series of collages, realized by Hegray and Delaborde in the early months of 2013, melt together brick wall patterns, aluminum paper foldings, amazon.com cardboard packages and military books extracts in a long and cryptic sequence. It alternates multiple layers and opacity, crude photoshop operations and delicate grey variations, going deeper in the fetishistic and fragmented tunnel opened in Nazi Knife #9. The whole book can also be read as a silent reenactment of Kevin Costner's slow motion car crash at the end of Dances with Wolves.
Jonas Delaborde (born 1981) is a French artist, publisher, and art historian. His practice, as well as the focus of his research, relates to artist books, self-publishing, and their recent or marginal occurrences. Delaborde works regularly with his fellow Hendrik Hegray (they edit the nasty & absurd Nazi Knife zine together), Kerozen and Mehdi Hercberg (Shoboshobo) or with the drawing collective Frederic Magazine.
Hendrik Hegray (born 1981 in Limoges) lives and works in Paris and Saint-Denis. First active in the underground drawing field in the late 90', he has since released a myriad of small books and fanzines, on his own, or published by FLTMSTPC, Orbe, Nieves, Editions du 57, and Shoboshobo. His work combines approximate drawings, brutal collages, found images and unremarkable photos. He is also active in the experimental music scene, performing under the different aliases of Helicoptere Sanglante, Popol Gluant or H&M, and he runs his own label Premier Sang since 2009.
