Abject Offerings: Zine Interventions in Bury St. Edmunds


 Grainy Black and White Photograph of Organic matter in a glass vial, exploring abjection and decay.

The work inside isn't polished. It isnt safe. Its raw, fragmented photography that sits somewhere between attraction and discomfort- influenced by Georges Bataille's obsession with transgression and Julia Kristeva 's idea of the abject - the things we push away but can't stop looking at.


These zines arent meant to decorate your space. They are meant to interupt it.


If you find one its yours. 

If it unsettles you, its working.
