An anthology of international artists that includes Canadians Rodriguez and Grills, American St John, British artist Chiu and Argentinian Vergara alongside Aussies Andrez Bergen and Matt Kyme, BLACK/WHITE is an exploration of both hues (black and white) along with the subtleties between the two.
The focus here is noir, along with a darkly comic sense of humour. These yarns futher veer into the territory of crime, assisted suicide and post-apolyptic dystopia — and that's just for starters.
Andrez Bergen is an expat Australian writer, journalist, DJ, artist and ad hoc saké connoisseur who's been entrenched in Tokyo, Japan, for the past 15 years.
Bergen has written for publications such as Mixmag, The Age, Australian Style, VICE, and the Yomiuri Shinbun. He has published six novels, wrote and illustrated three graphic novels, and published five comic book series.
Bergen's fiction previously appeared through Perfect Edge Books, Shotgun Honey, Snubnose Press, All Due Respect, Roundfire Fiction, Dirty Rotten Comics, Crime Factory, Open Books and Another Sky Press, and he occasionally adapts scripts for feature films by the likes of Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) for Production I.G in Japan.
