Edge Theory by Darian Razdar and Alicia Nauta

Silverfish is ecstatic to announce the launch of Edge Theory, a new collaborative artists’ book featuring writing from Darian Razdar and artwork from Alicia Nauta. The release of Edge Theory will be celebrated with a launch event at Art Metropole in Toronto on Sunday April 27, 2025.

In Edge Theory, Darian Razdar examines the slippery chasm between self and other. Contaminating theory with poetry and vice-versa, this brief and sexy treatise unspools the ever-shifting nature of relationality through a prism of intertextual references, tautologies, double-negations, and double-entendres. Accompanied by eclectic artwork by Alicia Nauta, Edge Theory is a cerebral and sensual exploration of the contours of desire.
