Ethereal, unsettling and intimate, these genre-hopping examinations of identity and nature demonstrate that Albert is a master of the formally-inventive contemporary comic.
Frequently dealing in sci-fi, erotica and the intersection between the two genres, Lala's comics are often an expression of her 'corporeal ambivalence', feeling at odds with her body. Indeed, her characters seem liquid and often lack solidity of line, endlessly morphing into new shapes and blurring into the landscapes in which they exist. The way we show ourselves to the world and the masks we wear are recurring themes in Lala's work. Depicting vulnerability, touch and tender moments of contact between characters injects a sense of realism to Lala's otherworldly imagery. Collecting Lala Albert's work together for the first time, Seasonal Shift kicks off with an interview of Lala Albert by artist and journalist Michael DeForge. Also included within are previously published comics 'R.A.T.', 'Janus' and 'Wet Earth', and seven other stories created between 2013 and 2019. This is the first book in Breakdown Press' new Library of Contemporary Comics series, anthologising the works of the most exciting cartoonists and creators working today. |
