Features a sampling of Manuel Ocampo's body of work from the past decade. Artist's biography included.

'The consideration of Manuel Ocampo's prolific, often upsetting, and at times overwhelming oeuvre that this book affords reveals his apocalyptic reckoning of Philippine history (and by extension world history) to be nothing less than a full-scale self-exorcism, fraught with very real demons...these images reveal Ocampo the painter to be Ocampo the alchemist, ever engaged in the unlikely process of transforming pure shit into gold, horror into exquisite beauty, history into art, purgatory into salvation.' - excerpt from essay by Jenifer P. Borum
