About Afternoon with Magnolia: the booklet is made up of a set of polaroid images and screenshots of text taken in the last few months. Its starting point is the poem of the same name by Kim Sun-Woo which presents the magnolia buds of early spring as gross, visceral and creepy. In part this pamphlet is about the uneasiness and comic absurdity of a spring spent mostly in isolation reading on the internet, trying to parse some kind of meaning from all the disparate sources, comments, articles, archives while nature unfolds outside.
