02 ON HOLD - HOME
2023





Format: Installation
        Film (2m30s)      
On Hold is an audiovisual installation that presents an aesthetic of idealised souvenirs and queer narratives.

The artwork consists of a 6-meter-long and 2-meter-high inflatable structure, designed to resemble a disc suspended in the air. This suspended structure acts as a platform to represent and embody memories. It signifies that whatever unfolds within this installation exists in a suspended state, frozen in time, allowing viewers to contemplate the profound impact of ephemeral moments and the long-lasting memories they create.

Within the installation, a rotating projector casts a visual projection onto its surface. The visuals feature two boys perpetually running in a counter-clockwise motion, their hands intertwined in an eternal bond. It embodies the cyclical nature of these relationships, transcending linear narratives and societal expectations.

In addition to the installation and projection, On Hold showcases an experimental short film that serves as an introduction and contextualisation of the experience.
