Chino Amobi: Eroica

Chino Amobi's  novel Eroica is described by the artist as an «epic globalist thriller». His hybrid and collaborative practice manifests itself in music, poetry, publishing, performance, video and visuals.

The novel itself is written in the style of the cyberpunk genre, with references to historical nonfiction, folklore, and urban fiction. Eroica opens with the revelation of a police report describing Amobi’s death by castration. What follows is an archive of the found manuscripts belonging to his fictitious dead ego. With sections of the book written entirely in Mandarin, Sanskrit and graphic codes, Amobi situates the reader in a time and place beyond the comfort of an accessible Western vantage point.
