Abstract: This work exists in opposition to capitalism and is intended to create a temporary space in which joy and brevity can be felt and shared. In a time when pleasure is hard to come by and violence is unceasing, there is merit in jubilation— in having fun as both a reprieve and a form of resistance. Our lives are so precarious. There is so much that can go wrong with little to no premeditation. But also, how wild (and relieving) that jubilation can sneak in as well with equally little precedent. This work is heavily influenced by all the time I have spent doing other work: asking people what they would like for breakfast, walking up and down stairs with steaks, putting the top cookie on at an ice cream sandwich factory, roofing, tiling, pouring concrete, insulating attics, digging holes, and designing lesson plans for underfunded afterschool arts programs.
