ACCESS TRIPLE SLASH: ///

“Through this captivating record of a singular queer friendship, Nolan honors the meaningfulness of connection through art. A staggeringly intimate multi-genre memorial, Triple Slash: /// is like nothing else I’ve read.” — writer and critic Megan Milks.

“Triple Slash: /// is a groundbreaking work that pushes the boundaries of multimedia art. It is a raw, unfiltered exploration of queer intimacy, addiction, and the complexities of archiving one’s life in the digital age.” — critic Cody Rooney for liminul

///

No artist exists in a vacuum. A work stands on its own merits, while the currents and cycles that fed it often remain obscure.

Triple Slash: /// is a graphic account of an agreement between visual artist, Nigel Nolan and poet, Cody John Laplante. For years, they would gather and share information, material, correspondence, and a great deal of themselves before uniting for one greater act of creation.

Separated by nations, their process spans chat logs, emails, and the work they share as they build toward a mysterious future.

Estimated continuous scroll time: two and a half hours. This is Part 1 of the Triple Slash: /// trilogy.

Triple Slash: /// deals with adult themes, including profanity, sexual content, and violence.
