Det \u00e4r en hoppets fiktion som st\u00e5r i kontrast till den h\u00e5rda verkligheten som ofta ocks\u00e5 verkar vara p\u00e5 v\u00e4g mot postapokalypsen, bara inte p\u00e5 det bra s\u00e4ttet. I det nuvarande klimatet d\u00e4r vi m\u00e5ste navigera mellan polisstaten, folkmorden och milj\u00f6katastrofen f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker han bygga ett utrymme att fungera, skapa och leva i. Elftorp g\u00f6r serier som ska fungera som b\u00e5de p\u00e5minnelse och tillflyktsort.<\/p>\n

Detta st\u00e4mmer extra mycket i hans serie Piracy is Liberation<\/strong>. \u00c4ven om den utspelar sig i en stad d\u00e4r Kapitalismen \u00e4r den sista religionen och folket \u00e4r omedvetna b\u00e5de om att n\u00e5got existerar utanf\u00f6r Staden och att saker n\u00e5gonsin har varit annorlunda (kanske l\u00e5ter det bekant?), finns fortfarande en strimma postapokalyptiskt hopp mitt i dystopin.<\/p>\n

Han \u00e4r aktiv i CBK, Wormgod, Tusen Serier och Hybriden. Har arrangerat festivalen AltCom och arbetar med Fanzineverkstaden, en kollektivverkstad f\u00f6r sj\u00e4lvpublicerande serieskapare i Malm\u00f6. De flesta av Elftorps serieb\u00f6cker, prints, fanzines och serienoveller i olika antologier finns h\u00e4r.<\/p>\n

It’s a fiction of hope to contrast our harsh reality that also often seems to be moving toward postapocalypse, just not in the good way. In the current environment, between the police state and the genocides and the climate catastrophe, he tries to find a space to function, to create and to live. He makes comics as both reminder and escape.<\/p>\n

This is especially true in his Piracy is Liberation<\/strong>. Even though it’s set in a city where Capitalism is the only religion and the people are unaware of any history or anything existing outside (sound familiar?), there is still some postapocalyptic hope amidst the dystopia.<\/p>\n
