12 ATTEMPTS
[TO COLLAPSE
MY INFINITY]
SET ME FREEEE
SAID THE CAMERA OR WHATEVER
WAS INSIDE
IT POINTED AS IT WAS
AT THE SHUTTER OR BACKDROP OR
BLANK.

12 attempts to collapse my infinity immerses viewers within a self-portrait studio shoot of the artist. Depicted across a series of twelve, hand-processed black&white stereoscopic slides and a self-tape revealing the improvisational movements leading up to a fixed image, the work engages viewers in various acts of looking to question where exactly visibility resides, particularly in photographic representations of queer gesture and trans bodies.

*CLICK*
TWELVE TIMES IT WAS THIS
ROTATED ROUND ITS AXIS EACH TIME
THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE SUCKED
OUT BY A CRUSHED RUBBER BALL BREATHING
OPEN THE SKY LIKE A BIRTHDAY GORL.
*SET ME FREE*
AND THE BLOWER
A NUDE (PRETTY)
CONTORTED IN HOPE
WAS FIXED, LATER TO LIE
SHED ON THE FLOOR IN GLOSSY PULP
AMONGST LACE AND CROPS
AND OTHER SUCH SUGGESTIONS.
Single channel video, 9:16, black & white, 12 stereoscopic photography slides, stereo audio.
