A Tale of Two Poofters: Working Proofs
A literary project presented through the deadpan machinery of an academic field study, complete with abstracts, methods, results, and references.
Field notes
The project organizes its material as a sequence of “renditions,” with the visible page identified as Rendition XV from Volume II. Its featured document follows a journal-article format and reports a nine-month escalation in unreciprocated provisioning at a coastal research station. The page also preserves editorial staging around the artifact: the location is withheld, names are said to be altered, and the piece is marked as immediately accepted after all three reviewers declined peer review.
