Excerpt:
...Exceptional both in the quality and the diversity
of its production, this association of French, Swiss,
Finnish, American and Japanese graphic artists is led
by the dynamic Pakito Bolino who, for the last six years,
with the help of his mischievous accomplice Caroline
Sury, has been printing and editing their images. Along
with their radically edgy music, their work remains
stubbornly independent and politically incorrect.
A contemporary point of view favoring a single technique,
serigraphy, is adapted to their objective: to contribute
a vision of the future made up of combustible fragments
of the present.

Their principal merit? The willful combination of ingredients
generally perceived as heterogeneous: mangas and Art
Brut, virtual reality and Expressionism, free-form drawing
and the dance of death, pornography, noise, violence
and spoken language, jubilation and lyric effusion.
Not because of some neo-punk dandyism, not for the simple
pleasure of disorder, although some of their provocations
are as joyous as they are inevitable, but because
Le Dernier Cri, from its very beginning has chosen
to make the raw material of our everyday reality the
measure of all things.
