Better known in Europe and Japan where D’Agata has something of a cult following, his highly stylized work embraces the likes of Anders Petersen and Moriyama - turning the volume way up. His blurry vision of drug abuse and sex scenes wavers between desire and pain in grainy black & white and deep saturated color - purples, blues and reds. D'Agata spares us nothing, and he spares himself nothing - it is almost too much but the form of the book, a hefty black leather-bound bible with text throughout to break up the cacophony of imagery, renders it wholly satisfying.“His work shows a need to speak, to show, to reveal oneself, to cry out - a sense of urgency, as if our existence was threatened” Patrick ZachmannRafael Garido (Text, in French).
