Who is Marta
Project Overview
Who is Marta (愛情字典) is an independent zine that explores traditional Chinese four-word idioms describing romantic relationships. Drawing inspiration from Taiwan’s unique practice of translating foreign film titles with localized, often divergent meanings, JungJiea playfully incorporates this cultural habit with a humorous twist.
Project Details
Translating abstract emotional dynamics into a visual lexicon, the zine interprets classic idioms through a series of layered digital collages. By pairing playful title translations with rich graphic compositions, the publication is printed using risograph on rough-textured paper and finished with thread binding, giving the physical object the tactile presence and charm of a pocket dictionary.
