Scarce artists' book self-published by Padin featuring anti-violence, anti-exploitation, anti-United States collages and copy art. The cover image has been used in unique mail art, this book is likely an expansion on his usual themes. Likely made in the 90s given Padin's post 1988/1989 address.
A Uruguayan artist, poet, and publisher, Padin edited the influential literary magazines Los Huevos del Plata and OVUM 10 which put him in contact with the international avant garde. A participant in mail art, his artistic and political endeavors landed him in jail in the late '70s and surveilled upon release til the mid '80s, deemed a threat by Uruguay's military dictatorship.
