Do You Believe In The Concept of Time?
If the answer is no, or even if you’re unsure, you’ve arrived in the just the right place, at just the right time.
Enter: The Fragmented Process, where, somewhere in the middle of everything, a lemon sits on the floor, wondering if it meant to fall. That's the kind of question we’re asking — not when something happened, but whether when exists at all.
Consider the ravens of the Tower of London, birds that have outlived kings and wars and centuries of superstition, tied to a legend that says the kingdom falls the day they leave. Six hundred years of history, kept alive by six birds who have no idea they're keeping it.
Beneath the essays, a mixtape plays, drifting between decades in way that makes different years feel like the same afternoon. There are puzzles hiding in the pages, some in plain sight, and some buried deeper, waiting to be found and solved.
The Fragmented Process is not so much neatly organized as it is thrown at you all at once, one obsession layered onto the next. Is time still moving in a line, or does it feel a little like it’s tilting sideways?
Now that we’re back on the subject, time might not be a line at all. It could fragmented, more interested in a single moment than a beginning and an end.
The Fragmented Process is lovingly handmade, numbered, and limited to 250 copies.
The Fragmented Process is not so much a traditional zine as it is the inside of an obsessive mind. Raven mythology tangles with hand-drawn sketches, a mixtape plays underneath essays that scatter across decades, there are puzzles hiding everywhere, and once in awhile, strange bursts of fiction, like the purpose of the Falling Lemon. This zine was lovingly handmade, and each of the copies are numbered.
Only 250 in print. This is a special release from VOKSEE x The Smith Society.
