Museum of the Inexplicable
Zine Collabration, 2024
Museum of the Inexplicable is a 28 page Zine Vyolet collaborated with designer Doris Liu. The book is about a collection of eerie, whimsical objects of intrigue. Originated from Vyolet’s whimsical associations, the trivia of everyday life take on inexplicable identities and stories. The grill has different expressions because of the ways the meat slices are placed on it; the ketchup squeezed on the hash browns looks like calligraphic work; and the colorful newspaper boxes stand side by side as if they are passing gossip to each other. These bright ideas are compiled into a unique list of exhibits in the form of a catalog of the fictional “Museum of the Inexplicable”, with the original photographs that inspired them as an appendix.
Each zine comes with a sticker sheet of the ‘exhibits’ and is packaged with a custom header of the museum. A Solo exhibition based on this book was held in Williamsburg, New York.
*This book is currently collected by the Watson Library at the MET Museum.
