Literal Madness is a disseminator of text in the way like writing disseminates encounters with nothingness. Or madness.
Literal Madness loves dyi publishing practices and sells old texts to finance the production of new ones.
Literal Madness is a love story born from the romanticism of sharing references. Or from desiring through other’s desires.
Literal Madness imagines a web, an organism, a body without organs. Where the daughter’s body always survives, but not her unified self.
Literal Madness likes sexy text, text through desire, love and circle jerks, text on the madness born from love.
