Now Showing

  What We're Going Through  
  by Jessica Raschke  

A series of three lightbox installations that examines the damaging repetitions of human behaviour and the ways in which these evoke psychological, physical and ideological trauma.

From Lets Do It Again, Your Death Will Make Me Laugh, Never Stops, What We're Going Through invites audiences to question the motivations behind wilfully destructive behaviour and how tolerances/intolerances are tested by the apparent pleasures derived from nurturing and inflicting pain. fauxPho lightbox installation, open 24 hours.
