We did a special release of pandopticon 【熊猫之眼】(Doll Hair, 2025) at Winslow House Project‘s open house, where Danielle created the interactive zine as an artist-in-residence in April. pandopticon is an exploration of surveillance — perception — image, focalized through the experiences of vulnerable pandas Fei Fei, Jin Dudu, and An An. We issued 60 copies for our first run, distributing ~45 to guests and mailing out the remainder to family and close friends. Each zine is bound in jute twine and comes with a story within a story, one of five love letters narrated by Jin Dudu to An An, allowing readers to swap and collect the individual vellum paper inserts. The lettering on the cover is hand-written, applying Chinese inkstone and brush technique to recontextualize the role of Chinese calligraphy within a postmodern landscape.
pandopticon currently remains a limited edition release courtesy of Winslow House Project in Vallejo, CA. The project is funded through a residency stipend from the Prelinger Library in San Francisco, where initial research for the zine was conducted in March.
