Collin J Rae is a Michigan born visual and aural artist currently living and working in northern Virginia. His photos have been published by TASCHEN books, European Photography Magazine, Secret Magazine and many others. His “asemic” works have been featured in various online and physical journals. Other book projects include the Pandemic Portrait photo series, Sole Asylum, Island of Lost Soles, Memories in Smoke and Carnival of Soles.
There are no horsemen for this particular apocalypse,” writes Collin J Rae in his latest title, Sex After Death (S.A.D.), an experimental hybrid collection capturing the raw experience of life as a caregiver watching others begin the inevitable journey toward conclusion we must all, often unremarkably, face someday. Vacillating between psychedelic images of domestic life rendered grotesque and stream-of-consciousness vignettes, Rae’s work induces the unadulterated terror of mortality’s persistence and insistence, no matter how adult the audience. If death metal were a book, it would look and feel like this one.
-Raegen Pietrucha, author of Head of a Gorgon and An Animal I Can’t Name
Seriously warped, taboo-ly familiar, and the very definition of not going gentle into anything, this is the first book retrieved from a near-black-hole experience; it bursts with punk and spunk and plays with the resulting mess. All in all, very much alive. -
- Philip Blackburn Composer / Artist
In following the development of Collin Rae’s loving care for his elderly parents, I was comforted to learn of this book that was born out of sleepless nights and endless dilemmas one can experience in bearing the responsibility for a loved one’s ultimate phase of life.
Upon reading and taking in the photos—that are as descriptive as the writing itself—I was left with a turmoil of emotions, at an intersection of hallucination, nightmare, and fantasy, strong sense of responsibility and guilt…helplessness and hopelessness of going through the motions, a sense of desire to scream in a dark night, a sense of longing for one more day, just in case the rainbow appears.
Powerful expression.
- Mina Gajic Pianist / Artist
Collin J Rae’s Sex After Death is a mind-bending journey told through a collection of images that suggest dimensions bleeding into domestic tranquility, revealing the sometimes alarming and uncomfortable edges we often deny exist. Some are a Lovecraftian acid flashback while others inspire an agony and ecstasy one might feel during death… dare I say almost Clive Barker-esque? In words, the reader is taken through the author’s—at times—profoundly painful look at mortality and the human condition. For someone interested in the macabre as well as the evolution of life changes—beautiful and devastating—this was an enlightening read. Pick this one up if you want to be uncomfortable… in the best way possible.
-N.J. Gallegos, author The Broken Heart, coming out September 19th, 2023
as well as multiple other Alien Buddha Press Works.
An elegy for the living, a tempest for the calm, a pasture for the ragged and a eye for a storm, this is a read debriding the veil from the eyes of the curious, eloping with the imagination and proliferating fascination.
