The Fairy and the Fried Shrimp - cover

The Fairy and the Fried Shrimp, cover. December 2020. This 4-color risograph booklet is a parody of the traditional Korean folktale The Fairy and the Woodcutter, which glorifies all kinds of crime. Through this work I wanted to think about who the real victim of the story was – a fairy who sacrificed everything as a woman, a fried shrimp who committed a crime and became a chicken, their innocent children, a hungry condensed milk monster, a yogurt drone with no worldly power... Sewing machine-stitched booklet limited edition of 100.
