VOLVERÁS VOL . 1
Out of the entire Paper Traffic catalog, Volverás stands out as the bootleg publication, made entirely by hand and with limited resources. Pirated from movie scripts, fragments of poems, and tweets, it has no authors and no traceable origin material. Undocumented pieces of writing, dislocated text, cut and restitched into anonymity.
It's like a good dj set, when you don't care about track id and Shazam wouldn’t know either. Remixed and translated parts side by side with original works are frankensteined to form a new narrative.
A poetry and prose magazine about things that return. Stories on rebirth, ghosts, memory, reunion, mirroring, the new made from the old, plurality, orbits, the holidays, rituals, family, truth, absence, youth, bank robberies, haunting figures, bird migration, cycles, the seasons, ruins, growing old and death.
From the spanish "volverás" - "you will come back", the name stands as a promise from it to you and from you to it. It has infinite re-readability and it will stay with you. An exercise in reconstruction, memory, and identity. Have no expectations. This is the core act of paper trafficking.
VOL.1 is presented as a print run of 22 copies.
Written in English
96 handbound pages, 15 x 21 cm.
