Pussy’s* suit is dismantled and placed through a hallway that resembles the dark belly of a pirate ship. In the background you hear the tapping of Pussy’s boots, objects clatter whilst the ship prances. An attempt to demystify female and queer presence in military space, the realm of love-anarchy, waters and seascapes.

*The title of the work is a direct reference to Kathy Acker’s book (1996) carrying the same name, a punk pirate story inspired by and plagiarising ‘Treasure Island’ written by Robert Stevenson.
