Project Description
“I have been obsessed with my small collection of unopened, Reader’s Digest magazines from 2010/2011 and have been wanting to use them on a project. Reader’s Digest is so mundane and gives the reader flu-like symptoms which also makes it unique. There must be a deeper / alternate meaning to the text.”
"what is behind the covers of my untouched reader’s digest collection? i only need to read the title of the article off of the cover and it comes to me. rather than open and read, i want to sense the essence of these features and interpret them how i see fit."
