Synthesised from newspaper cuttings, Plastique Fantastique
is a hand drawn comic book, scanned and coloured by computer. The comic
is a future orientated utopian fiction: a satire, allegory and proposition.
The comic book details the actions of a guerrilla group whose ultimate
goal is the destruction of faciality and figure and ground relationships.
Attempting to put the group's manifesto into practice, they experiment
with mirror-travel, self-fashioning and new assemblages, to wage a campaign
against officers of the law, line managers, metrosexuals and other agents
of everyday life. The comic was given away free to visitors to East
