Everything We Love Is Slowly Becoming Fiction

Focusing on work created between 2007 and 2017, the book highlights over 120 original collages, album covers and silkscreen posters by Mighty Joe Castro. The book also includes a collection of previously released artist interviews from those years, never before seen work in progress images, a new essay by Marta Staudinger (Latela Gallery), forward by Andy Jenkins (Girl Skateboards/Element/Bend Press), and a new conversational interview conducted by fellow collage artist Allan Bealy. Each book is hand numbered and signed by the artist.

About Mighty Joe Castro:
Mighty Joe Castro is an accomplished Philadelphia-based collage artist, musician, and graphic designer. His artwork has been shown in galleries and art spaces across the United States, Canada, and Europe. He was featured in an Artist Portfolio in Kolaj #8 and in Collage Artist Trading Cards, Pack 1. “When starting a collage, I often set out with a very specific concept or goal in mind [or] it begins as playfully collecting images that speak to me and then putting them together to see what the visual conversation brings…I explore many themes, including dualism, injustice, modern life, the discarded past, devolution and the trappings of a society that’s becoming less and less humanistic, a culture obsessed with new technology and driven to consume at all costs,” he said.
