Fanzine

Ethnographic Study











Religion has always been a subject of interest to me, which led me to undertake this personal project. 

I conducted an ethnographic study exploring, through a critical lens, the intersection between Catholic religion and the concept of spectacle, as well as the diversity of practices and beliefs that exist within Catholicism and its deep cultural and historical influence.

The fanzine takes the form of a personal magazine that visually translates an ethnographic essay.

It includes images from my childhood, photographs of family members, Catholic spaces I have visited, and representative collages of each person  interviewed for the project. Traditions, rituals, symbols, and forms of communication within the Catholic Church are illustrated, enriching the understanding of this religious phenomenon.











This project not only provided me with in-depth knowledge of ethnographic research methodologies and Catholic practices and traditions, but also enriched me through diverse perspectives, experiences, and interpretations of religion.
