INFINITE WONDER OF IMMENSE BEINGS

An exhibition of designs by Alexander Ruth

With photography by Gayeon Kim and poetry by Jake Levine

Jake Levine’s ekphrastic poems inspired by Professor shirts portray surrealistic and often humorous scenarios that draw from the real-life experience of being a professor in Korea. Blurring the line between reality and fantasy, these poems are meant to create a dialogue and backdrop that connects the immaterial written word and the tactile world of fabric.

Gaeyeon Kim creates visual photographic interpretations of the poems that incorporate their corroborating fashion designs. She also captures some of the candid moments of the planning and carrying-out of this project.
