Let’s Get Married! 

2024. “Let’s Get Married!” is a project born out of a desire to a) eat ungodly quantities of Chinese banquet food with friends and b) call into question the processes that make “historically remarkable” events. Although marriage has traditionally been the purview of straight coupledom or homonationalist gays, I wanted to celebrate the multiplicities of relationships born out of queer kinship rather than partnership. Marriage in this case becomes a faggatrocious tribute to friendship and group ritual making. Collectively experienced events that are important in the process of constructing self, identity, and how we relate to others are further and further spaced out under the time politics of late stage capitalism. Unlike the industrial timekeeping schedules of old, our subjective timelines feel aimless, disorienting, and uncertain. Against these resulant affects of loneliness and anxiety, the kinship formed out smoking 200000000 cigarettes from a 2L coke bottle form the framework for a different modality of living, centering queer joy, pleasure, and bodily contact.
