Channelling the distorted vocal sonics of black metal music, Infernal Appendix is a chaotic, distorted liquified mess of various hellscapes. This artist book depicts digitially distorted source imagery from Gustave Doré’s illustrations to Dante’s Inferno, and from images of August Rodin’s seminal bronze sculpture The Gates of Hell, following sonic inspiration. The images have been printed in large format risograph, bringing a tactile quality to the swirling visual voids.

This book was developed as part of the exhibition Infernal Monologue, which took place at Kunsthall 3,14, Bergen, in 2025. It is a companion to Infernal Monologue: A Reader.
