If you jump on a moving party tram, where do you land? (2024)
First shown at Beyond Boundaries residency show, 29 January 2024 at Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan
Single channel HD video with sound. 9mins 33secs
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.
With thanks to BJCEM, UK New Artists and Fabbrica del Vapore for their support in the making of this film, and thanks also to DiscoTram Milan.
“A ritual of anxiety, the endless scroll, endless loop, eternal waiting whilst the nervous system tries to regulate itself is something Danaher explores: what are we all doing, honestly, on this mad little journey and where do we get off?”
Three unique UV prints on brushed steel are on sale through SLQS Gallery to mark the launch of the gallery and its screening programme Relation de Voyage. Please contact SLQS Gallery for sales enquiries.
