“DODODO is the first tangible, non-pixelated juxtaposition of the artwork of each component of BASA2: A group of research, support, experimentation and conspiracy, which either alternates between, approaches or simply treats comics and contemporary art in the same way.

For the record, DODODO means the sound of a giant cylinder crushing rocks, as found by Ivo in a manga (New Engineering, Picturebox publisher, 2007) by mangaka and contemporary artist Yuichi Yokoyama.”

Within the cacofony, there is a voice that guides the viewer and that is always the same.

The Killer Doctor, the Swirling Fire, and the World’s Most Haunted Building
“This block in Brazil has been home to one of the deadliest skyscraper disasters in history, a doctor with a murderous secret, and—some say—a curse that goes back centuries.” (2021)

Illustration made for Candace Opper’s story at Narratively:
My Unhealthy Obsession with My Dead Middle School Crush
