If you jump on a moving party tram, where do you land?

Following on from research into purgatory as both a liminal state and a journey between heaven and hell, and mapping this onto the idea of the glitch as a queer form of refusal, the party tram is used as a literal vehicle to explore this journey. I see this glitch, this refusal to perform, this “fantastic failure” as a kind of ritual space where the minutiae of everyday scrolling might transcend into the sacred.

Shown in SLQS Relation de Voyage screening programme, with three original UV prints on brushed steel. Please contact SLQS Gallery for sales enquiries.
