Creation is a process of happenstance that others can read. Karin Crona came upon a magazine called Pénéla during a day of idleness. Published between 1967 and 1973, Pénéla was the first women’s magazine that could be found in libraries. Karin Crona managed to gather several issues of Pénéla and undertook a work of decoupage and composition with photographs taken from the magazine. Through these new compositions, she gave birth to her own personal mythology. She adopted a technique close to automatic writing and visual haiku.
