Wrong hole (using ketamine feminsim to foster derealisation), 2021 The initial work in the Master Key collaboration. The key cut-out, overlaid with a horse image from Lars von Trier’s Melancholia, establishes a critical interplay between the literal keyhole of a lock and the "k-hole," or dissociative state. This ambiguity acts as a material celebration of Mackenzie Wark’s concept of ketamine femmunism.
