Since 2018 Infinity Land Press has been on a mission to spread the legacy of Antonin Artaud among the English speaking world. The collection spans through Artaud’s whole career, from his early work within the surrealist circle to his final bitter utterances and curses after his release from the mental institution.

The Antonin Artaud Collection includes so far Artaud 1937 Apocalypse - Letters from Ireland, Heliogabalus - Or, the Crowned Anarchist and Succubations and Incubations - Selected Letters 1945-1947.

Two more volumes are planned for the near future including Fragments from a Diary in Hell, which collects Artaud’s first three books from the mid-20s, and A Sinister Assassin, an anthology of previously untranslated texts from the final year of Artaud’s life.

Curse all those who ever tried to silence Artaud.

Antonin Artaud's work has a world-renowned status for experimentation across performance, film, sound, poetry and visual art. In the 1920s, he was a member of the Surrealist movement until his expulsion, and formulated theoretical plans across the first half of the 1930s for his 'Theatre of Cruelty' and attempted to carry them through. He made a living as a film actor from 1924 to 1935 and made many attempts to direct his own film projects. In 1936, he travelled to Mexico with a plan to take peyote in the Tarahumara lands. In 1937, preoccupied with the imminent apocalypse, he travelled to Ireland but was deported, beginning a nine-year asylum incarceration during which he continued to write and also made many drawings. After his release in 1946, he lived in the grounds of a sanatorium in Ivry-sur-Seine, close to Paris, and worked intensively on drawings, writings and sound-recordings. He died on 4 March 1948. His drawings have been exhibited on several occasions, notably at the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna in 2002 and at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris in 2006.
