'What is a trap?

‘I want to hold on to you forever’ is a collection of traps,

taking various shapes -from the sticky fly tape to the sirens calling from the sea.

They are romantic constructions -longing for that special someone to walk into their trapping embrace.

 

“The trap embodies a scenario (..) a dramatic nexus that binds these two protagonists [the trapper and the trapped] together, and aligns them in time and space.”

- Alfred Gell, Vogel’s net (1996)
