About the product:
Part endearing, part horrifying, this zine is a collection of chain letters sent to me by my grandfather through email. Nested layers deep inside forwarded threads is a mix of conspiracy theories, evangelical messages, and conservative propaganda that morph in meaning through their dissemination. These are proto-memes, content caught between old-school snail mail and the digital age.
