Hohokum is one of the year’s most refreshing experiences. I want to go to there.Intrigued? You should be. I carry it back down to complete the carriage, and my reward is a creature much like myself – a space-worm -thing - who proceeds to shadow me around this strange, vibrant and colourful carnival. I methodically move from lantern chain to lantern chain, and when they’re all lit, the final piece of the rollercoaster makes its appearance. I realise that the electric shock from flying into one of the electric fences lasts just long enough to illuminate a nearby string of lanterns. I glide up near the towers, back to an area I‘d been avoiding after accidentally frying my precious carnival-going cargo and watching blackened corpses fall from the sky.
This is a world with its own often-opaque internal logic, and I’m momentarily stuck as I try to decipher it. I’ve even scooped them back up as they drift slowly down, umbrella in hand, after being spat out of the curious vacuum-like machines hovering in mid-air. So far I’ve dropped them all over this world – into Ferris wheel carousels, onto see-saws and atop plinths. Hitchhikers hop onto my back as I surf the skies.
