Have a Nice Day Press is delighted to present A Faggot is a Unit, an artist book by Berlin-based artist, filmmaker, and writer Padraig Robinson. This publication brings together two original screenplays for yet-realized video works by Robinson along with a collection of research material presented as a retrograde calendar.

Imagine Prompt:
Catfish Monogamy and The Jealousy of Sagittarius A*, both
deal with contemporary life and creative labor as they
intersect with digital culture and current anxieties regarding
AI. In addition, the screenplays are followed by A Faggot is
a Unit (Homage to Hanne Darboven), a collection of archival
photographs, scanned objects and ephemera, as well as
stock imagery and graphics from the internet collected by
Robinson over the course of seven years (2015–2021). The
imagery further splits the disorienting narratives presented in
the two screenplays to offer a kaleidoscopic and unpredictable
way of reading stories while functioning simultaneously
as visual companion and counterpoint to the scripts.
