Covering issues from fat-camps to Ibogaine. This month we take a closer look at dependence from the most obvious to the most absurd. The process of becoming an addict, what we're addicted to and the mammoth industry that has been created to provide for and cure our addictions. Don't think you're above addiction, it comes in many different forms and flourishes within every echelon of society. We're all hooked on something in one way or another -- be it chocolate, heavy metal, VyVoleni or Facebook (!).

Delving into the murky depths of addiction, Provokator 26 features the following;

Getting Off on Mother Nature by Marika
Game Over? By Chris McMorrow
Anti-Social Networking by Wendy Wrangham
Exercise Addiction by Becka McFadden
Just Give me some Truth: Drug Facts by Tolula Dada
Metalism by Peter Utgaard
The Power of Abstaining by Jessica Bloor
Fat Camp: The Unbearable Heaviness of Being by Jessi Tabalba
The Chronicles of Yet Another Ex-Patriate Artist in Berlin by Taylor Williams
Crash Course in Addiction by Stephan Delbos

Back Facts

Special credit to CHEET - the featured original artist's work can be found in the basement of Chateau Rouge.
He actually went out and graffitied somewhere (perhaps Beroun) for us and this issue...and we can't thank him enough.
