Intergalactic Ferry Project
The “Intergalactic Ferry Project” is an audio installation, coupled with space poems and a ceramic scupture, that invites listeners into the fractured mind of the operator aboard the space ferry Nebula 371. Through a series of personal log entries, recovered by the Extraterrestrial Investigations Agency, visitors experience a metaphor laden narrative about self-discovery. The log entries echo the operator’s internal tug-of-war: the conflicting desire to fit in by letting go of certain parts of themselves, weighed against the liberating yet initially isolating experience of embracing their own emerging identity.
The installation is rooted in queer reflections on being non-binary in a cisnormative, patriarchal society.
