In his ‘space poetry’ series, Jesper Fabricius spins a verbal transcript in reaction to socio-political concepts that drive the production of art in response to market trends, governmental corruption and other interconnected phenomena. These statements are juxtaposed by images of genitalia, fornication and/or fabric swaths; each statement and its image feel connected in the critical reading of both, but only after the participating reader negotiates away from their primary analysis of every piece of content.
Acting as somewhat of a departure from the format of the other zines available in the series, Kunsthaefte 32 features no text, and barely any pornographic imagery. Instead, Fabricius collages images of several fabric swatches onto each page of the zine, allowing their formal differences to provide an cycle of optical pause and reconsideration that may be well within the definition of ‘space poetry’.
