Scarce artists' book by Clemente Padín espousing an anti-death penalty and also more generally an anti-violence, anti-war, anti-facsism, etc stance through images and text. Likely published in the 2000s as there is an email address on the back cover.
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.
