Zachary Cahill is an artist living in Chicago. For over a decade he has worked on the USSA, a proposition for a country that uses exhibitionary form as a meditation on nation-state infrastructure and propaganda. In recent years his work has taken a decisive turn towards the genres of fantasy and fairytales. His art has been featured in the Berlin Biennale; Regina Rex, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, among others.  Cahill has been featured in Art Reviews Future Greats issue and was included in the contemporary art survey, The Artist Who Will Change the World published by Thames and Hudson. The Black Flame of Paradise, his first novel, was released by Mousse Publishing in 2018. In 2021, he self-published the graphic novel, Unicorn Death Road Trip Buddy Movie. Cahill has written two books of poetry Unicorn Death Moon Day Planner (2023) and Unicorn Death Moon Paris Guidebook (2024) both published by Red Ogre Review.
