Ad Minoliti: FANTASIANXS

"FANTASIANXS" is Ad Minoliti's first comic book and the result of an ongoing dialogue with Kunsthalle Lissabon around ideas of science fiction and critical and political agency as a space of playfulness.

“Fantasianxs describes a community of beings whose existence is dedicated to a critical process of reflection directed both at themselves and to the universe through which they travel. They are ambiguous by definition, impossible to grasp in all their complexity and contradictions. They perceive themselves in a permanent state of flux, existing beyond species, race, gender, age and class, while simultaneously being uncertain of whether they are real, simulated, or simple figments of some child's imagination. The narrative tension arises from this unresolvable conundrum as their perception of the binary reality/fiction starts losing significance. Fantasianxs is an exciting new work, ripe with references and thought provoking ideas, by the author who already gave us masterpieces such as Nave Vermelhe and Biosfera Peluche.”
