Gag is a readymade of sorts: a handkerchief draped over a chandelier part. Hanging in mid air, it references the silhouette of a bedsheet ghost – a literal and figurative suspension of lingering mortality, and the physical and emotional seepage we struggle to hide. It is an exploration of intimacy, domesticity, and the absurdity of grief.

The works in this edition are siblings, each has its own unique colour, pattern, and history. Each object is accompanied by a poem, handwritten on mulberry paper. To build on the strange intimacy of this work, the handkerchief can be personalised with initials embroidered in the artist’s hair.

This work was first shown as part of the solo exhibition, Choke; the culmination of a 3-month residency at Stiftung Bartels Fondation, Basel, Switzerland, in 2026.
