Irene Loughlin incorporates states of grasping and hanging from a fire escape in an off-site performance located in a local alley of Canada's poorest postal code. A memorial piece for people who have died in the alley and a testimonial to those who survive against the odds. This performance was part of the Fluid Sexuality Series, exploring sexuality that lives beyond constructions of gender, sexual orientation descriptions, role-playing, and societal definitions of the body, beauty, and desire. Definitions of sexuality need not be only limited to the body, but include sexuality as it exists in less tangible forms - independent of human presence or interaction. The Fluid Sexuality Series was curated by Irene Loughlin and Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa, and was hosted by Gallery Gachet.
