CHRIS FOX’s flight of fancy proposes a Jetpack Salon city transport network, each neighbourhood salon providing a style of hair and a corresponding jetpack, with a hair protector helmet to maintain the ‘do (chose from Quiff, Mohawk, Bob, Ponytail or Afro) as you and your tribe traverse the cityscape conveniently powered by hydrogen peroxide.
The exhibition continues through until 18 July.
