Combining elements of documentary, history, and autobiography, Communicatingroups is author Stu Watson’s reckoning with our societal obsessions with celebrity and violence. Tracking the Hobbesian affiliation between monarchy and physical domination, Communicatingroups takes a broad view of human culture, skipping across the centuries from the death of Julius Caesar to contemporary instances of mass violence, seeking to draw divergent horrors into a new relation. Illustrated by the author’s own linocut prints and employing a variety of conceptual and formal modes, Communicatingroups unflinchingly confronts personal and cultural histories, searching out new forms of organization from the ruins of a broken world
